Workshop with Tracy Verdugo from Australia

In August 2019 I was so lucky to take a workshop again with the 

adorable Tracy Verdugo.

The workshop was held in Son Norway hosted by my friend 

Tove Marie Hunt Sörensen.

The workshop was so great, many old friends

 there and new too. 

This was a very international group. We were from Australia, 

England, France, Sweden, USA, Iceland and Norway.

Here I'm with my wonderful friend Tracy Verdugo who 

came all the way from Australia to have a workshop for us.

With my dear friend Tove the host, from Son, Norway

I have taken a class from her too.

The three amigos met again.

Valérie from France, I form Iceland and Mette from Norway.

We met in an online class year 2012 and have been good friends since then..

This was the third time we met in person.

I took a workshop in Norway again :)

In Oktober, I went to Norway for a long weekend workshop.

It was Kurs - finn din flyt i farger og sinn (find your flow in colour and mind).

By Tove Marie Hunt Sörensen and Elisabeth Brochmann Refring.

It was a great weekend with a lot of paint and laughter.

The workshop was held in a beautiful place called Sem gjestegård and is just outside Asker. 

The hotel was very nice with a lot of old furniture and things all over the place.

The rooms were good and the food great.

We were 10 girls painting and painting and in between, there was

 a little mindfulness which I liked very much.

The colours of the autumn are beautiful in Norway and I

brought a little sample of it with me to Iceland.

Have a great day

This summer I have been painting and painting... :)

I don't know where to start..

In May I went to Norway to take a class from Jenny Grant.

There I was over a weekend painting with my friends from Tracye Verdugo class two years in Sweden and of course some new friends. 

We had a wonderful weekend in beautiful weather, painting, eating, drinking and painting more.

The local in Fredriksberg was great

Jenny Grant is a fabulous teacher.

Beautiful Fredrikstad

I was the lucky one to have the opportunity to take a weekend class with Tracy Verdugo in Sollentuna, Sweden last weekend. We were 20 girls that took the class and I can't describe how much fun we had. 

With the amazing teacher Tracy Verdugo

Tracy is an angel and so is Jenny Grant, the host.

We came from many different countries, France, Norway, Finland, Ireland (living in Sweden) Hungary (living in Sweden) Sweden and Iceland and of course Tracy, the teacher lives in Australia.

I did travel from home Friday morning, arriving in Sweden at noon. Took the train to the hotel in Sollentuna. From there I went strait to the train again and in to Stockholm as I had to do a little shopping in Ahléns for my granddaughter. Back to the hotel again and there in the lobby I met my dear Valéri from France but we were sharing a room. At dinnertime we were invited to a Chiaras (from Ireland) and Zsuzannas from (Hungery) room for a little party before we went down for a dinner. There we meet Heidi (from Norway) and Mette (also living in Norway).

Sigga Dis, Valéri and Mette

There we are I, Mette and Valéri, friends that have been taking a lot of classes online together and it was like  that we had been friends forever. We had a wonderful evening but went early to bed as we had to have a good sleep before class start in the morning.

All of the lovely ladies

We arrived to Edsvik Konsthall 09.30 in the morning but that´s where the class took place. There we met Tracy and Jenny and the other girls that were going to take the class to. 

Tracy is a wonderful teacher, she is so calm and so nice to be around.

We did start by having a little meeting outside, the weather was great and the sun was there.

My simbols

Then we started painting.... making symbols, with all kind of colors and shapes, turning and turning... Time was flying, we were having a great time in a great studio and we did get a great lunch there to :)

Exhibition in Edviks Konsthall

On the top floor at Edsvik Konsthall there was a exhibition with the great artist Marc Chagall, we went there to get a inspiration for our symbol making

In the evening we staying at the hotel had dinner together at Spice, a Indian restaurant close to the hotel. The food was great and the beer was super good one imported from India.

Here I have added a little paint to my symbols

The next morning there were colors, bright and beautiful colors on every ones canvas, soft music and a little laughter here and there. This was the weekend... best ever for me. 

My two paintings after the workshop 

It was not easy to say good bye to all the beautiful artists staying together over the weekend, painting and painting. Taking a workshop like this is something all artist should do. 

Cant wait for the next workshop, next year :)

My BFF

I miss these two more than anything.... but we will meet again :)

Have a great day
