Art Campers Paint Cassett

We started the final week of Art Camp this summer by studying Mary Cassett, one of the few female impressionists of the time. The young artists did a marvelous job with the extraordinarily difficult painting. Keep in mind they did this in just one session! Great job everyone. Can’t wait to see the rest of your good work this week.

Art Campers and Waffle!

Posted in Art Camp, Dogs, tagged acrylic, Art Camp, Blue Dog by kids, Blue Ridge Arts Council, Bulldog, Dogs, English Bulldog, George Rodrigue, Virginia Artist on July 24, 2013| Leave a Comment »

Yesterday we had such excitement at art camp. We were studying George Rodrigue of Blue Dog fame and we painted a blue dog and Waffle! Waffle is Maggie’s, one of the art campers, new puppy. So Waffle came to class to have his photo made with the painters after they finished his painting. How adorable!

He is a young guy, I think about 4 months, and he is all puppy fat and cuteness. Who could resist? Not me. I had to pick up his little chunky self and squeeze it a little. He wasn’t thrilled but let me get in a few hugs and kisses. Thanks Waffle for being our inspiration.

Another session of Art Camp is off to a GREAT start! Yesterday we painted a wonderful copy of Manet’s Peonies, one of my favorites. And the kids painting turned out magnificent. Terrific painters. Can’t wait to see how today’s painting turns out.

Ps. I got a question about why one kid keeps covering his face. His parents prefer that his image not be posted on the internet but I wanted him to be able to show off his beautiful work so this is our compromise. 🙂
