I got home Monday night and have been trying to process all of the information that Rob tried to stuff into my head. I may have to go back for a refresher course someday.
Here is a pic of just some of the things we learned about the first morning. We learned about supports, and how to prepare them. How to stretch, size, and prime canvas. How to use the many various mediums that are available and why to use them. We learned to properly glaze a painting. We learned how to apply varnish to achieve a beautiful finish and how to build a crate to pack it up and ship it to our buyers! (Can't wait to have to do that!)
I have to admit that by the end of the first day I was overwhelmed by everything and certain that I will never be able to learn all of this. But Rob Howard is an excellent teacher and by the end of the course I was so excited to get home and start working with all of this new knowledge. Rob is an inspiration! I am so glad I was able to go to Boot Camp.
