In June(2008) I got to live a dream!!! Not only did I get to meet the famous Artist Charles Reid, but I got to take a workshop and work one on one with a master. It was amazing that I was able to get into the workshop many had been on a waiting list for two years. He only comes to Seattle about every 4 years. It was surprising that they kept the workshop small...about 18. And to have him give personal instruction was beyond words. His wife Judith who always accompanies him was a bright spot in each day. I learned alot about doing portraits. He is considered a master in the figure and portrait. Oh..I forgot to mention his main medium is of course...Watercolor! I am excited to work on faces. The pictures here are photos I took while Charles Reid was painting,the model is named Saddutz he is of Alaskan heritage, he works at the "Center for Wooden Boats" in Seattle, teaching old style canoe building.
