We have just returned from The Watermedia Workshop in Barbados. In all there were 5 artists from Trinidad out of 24 participants 3 of whom are ASTT members. I think if we post more info about regional and local workshops we can encourage our members to take part in these very rewarding workshops.
These are photos from THE WATERMEDIA WORKSHOP held at The Gallery at Lancaster Great House in Barbados on 2nd and 3rd April hosted by Canadian Artist  Heidi Berger whose home is Barbados part of the year. She invited another Canadian Artist, Ariel Lyons to conduct the workshop introducing various mediums to the participants. Day 1 dealt with Watercolours and the effects various mediums had and on Day 2 we worked with Acrylics.
