Then when I heard the podcast (I have to remember who it was you would enjoy it) it all made sense that we can just be pickier about the workshops we take and go into them with different goals than if we were beginners! In addition, for us as teachers it can also benefit us by being students again....helps us remember what it is like for our students!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17239336384191511625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14672405.post-39082228387093234722013-02-20T07:53:50.832-05:002013-02-20T07:53:50.832-05:00Karen, this is a wonderful post.

"one tends to be pickier." Good job explaining why an artist should not rule out taking a workshop. We never stop learning, and we just might hear something a different way that helps just what we are working on.Marsha Hamby Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16121453066638558910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14672405.post-36102370153389303962013-02-19T15:52:01.253-05:002013-02-19T15:52:01.253-05:00Hi Judy!

In my situation, being a beginner there is always something to learn. And it also provides me with an opportunity to rub shoulders with other artists, most of whom are much better than me.Dave Caseyhttp://www.thedailypainter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14672405.post-6603872270722105402013-02-18T17:58:52.873-05:002013-02-18T17:58:52.873-05:00I might add, I would also take one of yours if eve...I might add, I would also take one of yours if even for social reasons because I like you! :) And you have some tips I have appreciated!Beenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14927516866270017716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14672405.post-29390319390049511832013-02-18T17:48:21.673-05:002013-02-18T17:48:21.673-05:00If I were not in the throes of a mobility issue, I...If I were not in the throes of a mobility issue, I would definitely be open to taking some workshops to explore different techniques from my own. And I have been exploring art for many years, and started the same time I learned to read and write. Makes no difference, there's always more to learn! I think, however, with more season one tends to be pickier.Beenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14927516866270017716noreply@blogger.com
