I only have a couple of sessions left with the students from Virginia International Academy so I gave them their choice of what to paint and they requested the evening river scene from a previous Paint Party. They did a great job. They’ll be leaving soon and I’m glad that we got to work with them even for a few months at The Studio.

On Monday I visited with friends at the Battlefield Equestrian Center (Sander’s Ranch) and met loads of beautiful animals. Of course, I took many reference photos because the kids in my art classes LOVE to paint animals. So at this week’s classes we painted Finn. What a handsome guy! Here are the paintings that the kids did along with my demo piece and more photos of Finn and Lucky.

Our guest instructor, Sandra Charles, returned to The Studio yesterday to work with the Thursday kids class. They were excited to make so many cool prints and to get to create a one-of-a-kind T-shirt. Thanks Sandra for making it so much fun for the kids!

We had a guest instructor at The Studio yesterday to teach Gelli Printing. Sandra Charles, a wonderful fiber artist, came in to teach the kids how to get fabulous designs on paper and cloth using Gelli plates.
The kids learned about mono prints and were excited to create such cool designs.
