It was a beautiful week in August for Jerry Brommer’s class here at the Hudson River Valley Art Workshops. Even though this was a studio class, everyone appreciated the wonderful weather.

I had a lot of fun checking out what the class was doing each day. They were creating such fabulous surface textures.

Almost had to put on a sun filter on my camera to take this picture of Glenn in his neon shirt. Love this man’s love of color!

The students in this year’s class took advantage for the extra table space to really spread out all of their working materials.

Plenty of animated discussions were enjoyed around the dinner table.

Jerry’s wife, Georgia, also came for the week.

Someone mentioned cake during the week, so of course, chef and chocolatier, Mark had to find a method of combining cake with lots of chocolate. The result was a tower of moist yellow cake with dark chocolate raspberry ganache filling and topping – not to mention the dollop of whip cream on top!

A sweet ending to a sweet week. Even sweeter is the news that Jerry Brommer will be back in 2011 on July 31 – August 6 to teach another workshop for us. His legions of fans were clamoring for a new workshop from their fav instructor and Jerry knows how to deliver! In 2011 he will be teaching a brand new workshop – Unique Surfaces for Watermedia. Don’t miss it!
