Finally a little break in my schedule. I just attended 2 workshops with artist Andy Weber. The first was on "The Art of Compassion"(Emanations of Avalokitesvara). If you visit his website at www.andyweberstudios.com you can read more about him and see his upcoming workshops. Here is a brief bit about him that I will quote from his site. " Andy spent seven years living and studying the iconographical art of Tibetan Buddhism under the guidance of accomplished masters in India and Nepal. His unique style of authentic images for visualization are highly respected not only by the growing number of Western Buddhists but also by Tibetan Lamas of all traditions, many of whom have commissioned his work. His thangka paintings (= Tibetan scroll paintings) can be seen in Buddhist centers and temples throughout the world including the Potala Palace in Lhasa and his images have become well known and popular through numerous publications."
The photo shows some of the preparations of stretching your own canvas or surface for painting. I am still working on my drawing and will post a photo as I make a little more progress.
