I HIGHLY recommend you take a workshop by him. He’s very laid back and creates a great atmosphere for his students. I guess the main thing I did to prepare for the workshop was to watch all the Charles Reid videos I had and read through his books – I just kind of soaked him up before I went and really focused on his style. I’m not sure if the other students that used his pigments found it easier or not. I purchased a few of the colors that weren’t on my palette (like cad red) but I ended up using pigments I was more familiar with and got good results. Yes, I did use and easel. I normally paint on a desk but most everyone painted from an easel at the workshop. I can paint from either but find I like resting my arm on a desk. I kind of go back and forth. It’s good to practice painting from an easel before going to one of his workshops. Thank you for your kind comments about my paintings. Thanks for stopping by!

I did not mean to imply that materials, books, etc.. enabled you to be so successful…you clearly have skills/ability that many of us do not have…just wanted any tips that might help me with this workshop.

Can you tell me…was there anything in particular that prepared you for this?…did you find any materials, supplies, exercises, books, etc… that might have contributed to your being so successful? Did the students who used Charles’ pigment colors find things easier to accomplish their goals? Finally, did you use an easel? thanks. Carol

Your painting did turn out pretty nice–you should be pleased.

Thanks again for posting this.
