After and interesting, fun day of painting the students are ready to display their masterpieces. The fee for this class is all in – the only things that the student has to bring is their lunch, their apron (or dress for a mess), their smile and of course their creative enthusiasm. They of course mustContinue reading “A Walk in the Woods: Finished”

A Walk in the Woods: Almost Finished Stage
The students have made great progress on this painting. You can now really see the different creative approaches that each student has applied to their painting, particularly so when you look at their interpretation of the water.
A Walk in the Woods: Mid Stage
So here we have the students busy at work. The painting has advanced considerably
A Walk in the Woods: Early Stage

A Walk in the Woods
This painting was selected as our November landscape class for several reasons. First off it is a great fall scene and as such makes a nice wrap-up class for our 2014 painting classes. I picked this painting deliberately to showcase the very first PBS TV program that Bob Ross did. For years his first yearContinue reading “A Walk in the Woods”

Keeping these critical compositional points in mind I loosely sketch in the 3 flowers. I map them outContinue reading “WIP Pretty in Blue”

After preparing the black gessoed canvas, painting in the black and grey gessoed trees, and applying black to the trees to create the birch texture and look, I applied a very thin coat of Liquid Clear over the entire dry canvas. Applications of phthalo blue and cadmium yellow wereContinue reading “WIP SNOW BIRCH FINISHED”
