Phones!

Posted in daily painter, tagged Phones on March 5, 2018| Leave a Comment »

Smartphone It is amazing how dependent we are on cell phones….smart phones to be precise. Mine died yesterday morning and sent me into a panic like I haven’t had in a very long time. It couldn’t be saved. And we are still waiting to see if we can recover anything in it but I am the proud owner of a newer version of the same phone. I like it but it does so much more. It will take awhile to learn it all. We are keeping our fingers crossed that we can recover some of the content on the old one. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

Three Parties!

We had a busy afternoon at The Studio yesterday. First, our 1st Saturday Paint Party saw us painting the Koi Fish Pond…using our fingers. That was so much fun. Then we had two private Paint Parties with excited painters….many giving it a try for the first time. It’s always a good time introducing new people to painting and helping those who already paint learn even more. A great day at The Studio.

VIA Students Back

Posted in Art Class, daily painter, Landscape, tagged color wheel, Virginia International Academy on March 3, 2018| Leave a Comment »

For a couple of years now we’ve been asked to work with international students who attend Virginia International Academy in Front Royal. These four students are all from China and yesterday we had our first session….without electricity due to the windy weather. Even without lights we created color wheels and discussed color mixing and painted these nice little sketches using just three colors- Ultramarine Blue, Cadmium Yellow Light, and Cadmium Red Medium plus a little Titanium White. Pretty good for just three colors in about 30 minutes! Looking forward to working with these students for several more weeks.

The Studio sponsored a fundraiser for Miracle Kid Noelle on Saturday night. And boy, did we have a good time. We had a terrific turn-out and created some lovely paintings.

We are wishing only good things for this young painter.

Last night at our Adult’s Art Class we all decided to get loose and paint abstracts. Thanks Marie for the push! It was great fun. We watched a short Bobblast video for inspiration…we love Bob Burridge! And off we went, painting away. This is my Big Bird…. a representational abstract piece. It was fun!
