I got to spend a couple of hours with some of the American Woodmark team painting a mural that will go to their new headquarters. It was an awesome experience…and they did a terrific job. Just take a look!

Here is the “Painting with Paper” Sunflower that I made at the class at The Studio this past Sunday. This type of art is so much fun…tearing paper and arranging it into something lovely. Denise has agreed to come back on Sunday, October 16th to teach another one so mark your calendars now!

We had so many people working at The Studio yesterday creating beautiful works of art. Wednesday we have regular weekly art classes for adults and children. Adults have classes at 10:30 or 5:30 and Kids class is at 4:15.
Occasionally we have visitors who just drop in. This happened yesterday with a young girl and her Babushka. They wanted to paint together before she had to return home to Seattle so they painted together at the evening class. Our young painter, Kamila, completed this little lamb painting. She was very pleased.
Logan has been working on a large painting and decided to take a break from it yesterday to do a quick palette knife painting that she could complete in one session just to get her creative juices flowing again.
And the kids did this fun little “Saying” multi media piece. Great work everyone!!!

A few weeks ago we experimented with multi-media collage work at The Studio. Boy was it fun. We used burlap panels, paint, Sharpies and beautiful scrapbook papers along with ModPodge to create these simple but lovely animal works of art. The kids did great in their class with these and I enjoyed the ones I did too! Super fun.(We did some cute dogs a few weeks ago with Sophia’s private lesson too and you can see that here.) I see a Paint Party for adults doing something like this coming soon.

Painting like Cezanne
Yesterday we studied Cezanne at Art Camp and painted Apples & Pear, a still life, just like Cezanne’s. And these kids are AMAZING! Look at what a great job they all did.
Collage Bird
And when we had a few extra minutes at the end of Monday and Tuesdays sessions we put it to good use and created a collage painting of this little bird. Beautiful!

I just ran across this photo that I had been holding since before Christmas. I didn’t want to post it until after because it was Kayla, my dog sitter’s, Christmas gift.
I love the “Dog themed” paper and especially the saying – “Be More Like a Dog”. I think she liked it.

We have two great workshops coming up at The Studio. The first on is this Friday morning, December 5th from 11-12:30. We will be making these terrific “Initial Paintings” using paint and paper. These are pretty simple to make but produce a really nice work of art that would make a fabulous present for anyone on your list. You can see more about it here. 
(And if you can’t make it Friday morning we will have a Tuesday evening class for this one on December 9th.)
The second is our 1st Saturday Paint Party where we will be painting this beautiful winter tree scene on Saturday, December 6th at 2 pm. And we will finish just in time to watch the Christmas Parade go by! Click here for more information.
There are only a couple of spaces left in each of these workshops so be sure to contact kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com to reserve a space now.
