A Large Beach Painting

Posted in Art Class, tagged , , , , , , on March 15, 2012| 2 Comments »

   At the Young Artist classes over the last three weeks we have been working on a masterpiece!  Normally we paint an 8×10 or 9×12 painting each week.  But recently we worked on these large 16″x20″ paintings of a beach scene.  It’s good for them to paint large from time to time just to see what it’s like to cover a canvas that big and to have a nice large painting to enjoy.  Good job guys.  Keep up the good work.

I spent some time yesterday evening working on ideas for the kids to paint at Art Camp this summer.  Check out info here for this summer’s schedule and photos from last summer. 

The three Matisse’s you see here are my copies of three of his paintings that we did in art camp or art classes last year.  I love Matisse so I am sure we will do others.

Lemon Glazing

Posted in Art Class, daily painter, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on March 2, 2012| Leave a Comment »

This is an underpainting of acrylic in black and white where we allowed the underpainting to dry totally and then put glazes of oil paint on top.  This technique is a great way for students to learn to see light and shadow.  We will be painting this lemon soon in our Thursday evening adult class.  Lemon, oil on canvas, 5″x7″, available for $75.  Contact kwalker@lifeofadailypainter.com .

Abstract Landscape

Posted in Abstract, Art Class, daily painter, tagged , , , , , , , , , on February 23, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Representational Abstract is a form of painting that combines the loose ease of abstract with art we recognize.  Even though we see the bright colors and long brush strokes in this work we can still see that it looks like a landscape scene.

This is some of the things we will explore on Saturday at the Art Workshop in Strasburg.  Join us for three hours of fun and learning.  Contact kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com .
