Lake Frederick Painters

VIA Class

Friday was a super busy day. First we had Open Studio where I caught up with supply orders and class descriptions and a painter came in to start a new piece for a gift. Then it was to load up all the supplies and go to Lake Frederick where we had a super fun group painting at their Paint Party. Great work everyone!

And then back to The Studio in time to unload everything and set up for a late class with my Virginia International Academy students. They finished up a painting we started the week before. Fabulous!

It’s fun helping others discover how much they enjoy painting.

Chambers Bay Golf Course, Tacoma, WA

This is a painting of Chambers Bay Golf Course in Tacoma, WA. One of my students that is a golfer wanted to paint it and we did a “Paint Along” – where I paint the same painting and demonstrate techniques I use while she paints the same image. It’s a great learning tool to watch another painter at work. Everyone uses their brushes differently; they mix paint differently; and the apply it differently. There is not a right or wrong way – just different ways and you can learn something from all of them.

I am working with a delightful group of international students. They love painting and are so enthusiastic about it. Over the last three weeks they produced these wonderful paintings of Van Gogh’s Starry Night, a painting that they requested to do. Can’t wait to see what they do next!
