BIG Sun by Kathryn V. White
Recently, I attended a wonderful, weekend painting workshop—Stewart Cubley’s, The Painting Experience. I’ve had this workshop on my “To-Do” list since 2008 and with it coming to Seattle this autumn, it was a good time to attend.
I was comfortable with the process shared as it is an approach I frequently take in creating my own art. Basically, show up, be present, open to whatever wants to express itself, and follow your creative flow.
Overall, be in the mystery of creation instead of focusing on painting an aesthetically appealing product. These are my own words, so other people and the workshop facilitators (Stewart Cubley and Annie Rousseau) could describe it differently.

What I loved about this workshop was that there were no critiques, no stories to be shared about your paintings, being present amongst others who are delving into the same process, and getting to paint BIG. I have wanted to experience painting on big canvases for some time.
With the approach of either starting off with one 26” x 20” paper and adding to it or starting off with several papers attached already, I got to experience what it feels like to take a big, paint-tipped brush to big painting surfaces.
I LOVED IT! Especially when I started with several pieces of paper already attached to make one huge canvas. My pieces ranged from 26”x20” to 52”x60” to 91”x 60.” Yep, the largest one is approximately 7.5 feet high by 5 feet wide!
So here in my blog, I’m sharing with you my BIG pieces. All done with bright tempera paints.
Now, I just need a BIG studio space to paint BIG paintings!
