So fun to see how your workshop played out! I really like how you describe the atmosphere, including the lunch, to transport us to the day. That’s what Mary’s evocative art does for me, like a portal to a fantastical realm of color harmony. I looove that ship painting from the book and it’s so cool to see how your students interpreted her work for their own pieces. I’m going to hit the Mary Blair exhibit in SF before it closes in September!
Thank you, and I’m glad the “color” items (lunch, etc) helped you feel like you were there. Enjoy the exhibition! That’s something I’d love to see. Maybe one day it will come to the Brandywine Museum near me (lots of illustration art).
Right now I have two books from the library featuring Mary Blair's work and I also got the women animators book to reread. Thank you for giving me the impetus to study her work further. I love looking at her images - they are full of joy. I hope you will do the workshop again, I would love to attend.
Hi Claudia, love to hear that you have quality reading in your near future. I hope I can do another Mary Blair workshop, it was a lot of fun. I always manage to work her ideas into other workshops at the very least!
You absolutely knocked it out of the park with the Mary Blair Workshop! She would be proud! Her story alone is incredible, but then you put in her brilliant use of color, shapes….that she did so wonderfully in everything she painted! I loved watching the video of Erin Green! Thank you for sharing your workshop with us! Keep up the great work!

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the workshop notes! Erin's channel has so much more that I'm looking forward to exploring, too.
