Let me know how you like the atelier. I could use the open studio practice as well and would not mind the drive if the group is small. LAPAPA has a studio at Laguna Canyon Drive, which offers a similar set up. Only problem is that there are too many people competing for a decent spot.
Good luck with your Bouguereau, there is so much to be learned. If you get a chance go and see his newly cleaned painting at the Getty. It is well worth beating the traffic and spending a good day just observing. I don't mind going up one more time and if you like we can go together and take the toll road up (beat some of this horrendous traffic!). I can share with you what I have learned at Marvin's workshop regarding the use of B's palette. Marvin is right on with his observations and advise on how to go about achieving certain result. If you have not gone up yet, Email me and I bring my palette swatch and notes I took at the workshop.
