Raves for Peggy Baumgartner's workshop
Hi all,
I'm about to gush madly about how awesome the 7 day workshop of Margaret (Peggy) Baumagartner's is. For those of you who prefer a get-to-point-fast summary, let me just say now that this was the best knowledge-gaining experence I think I've ever been in.
First, let me say La Crosse is the perfect place to attend a workshop. It's conveniently between Chicago and Minneapolis. It's "small town" enough to offer safe streets, big enough to have a diverse range of fun things to do and place to dine, but not so big that it distracts you from why you're there - to be a better artist and painter.
O.K., on to the workshop...
Peggy is an exceptional teacher. She has it all - mountains of knowledge, limitless energy, and willingness to share all she's learned along the way about becoming and flourishing as an artist.
Her passion is not only for creating beautiful portraiture art but for making those portraits with a sound approach; ultimately helping us execute our works with efficiency and with confident hand.
As for what I came away with - Peggy didn't "give me fish", she taught me how to fish. Let me just say I had just completed an Art Fair the weekend prior to the workshop, and had the astounding joy of receiving over 20 (yes 20!) commissions! I'm about to go "Pro" and Peggy's workshop will enable me to take my own style and bring to a whole new level both technically and artistically.
Linda
