Renoir’s Blue Cup

The 3rd session of Art Camp begins today with young artists, ages 8-13, as we study the Impressionists. We will paint like Monet, Degas and Renoir! Doesn’t that sound like fun? Well, it will be.

Today we will discuss Pierre-Auguste Renoir who was a leader in the development of the Impressionists style. He is best known for his use of light and saturated color and his feminine subject matter. You can read more about Renoir here. The young artists will be painting Renoir’s Blue Cup today. Check in tomorrow to see how their painting turns out.

Art Camp and Van Gogh

Yesterday the young painters at Art Camp did this fabulous Vincent Van Gogh painting. We discussed Van Gogh and his interesting history and family. And didn’t these girls do a stunning job recreating Van Gogh’s chair!?! I really enjoyed this session of camp with these girls. They are all very good painters and interested in art and the process. Great work!

Next week Art Camp continues with young artists age 8-13 studying Impressionism and painters like Monet, Degas and Renoir. This particular week is full but there are others available if you have young painters interested in having fun with art this summer. See the schedule here.

Session 2 of Art Camp started yesterday with young artists (age 14-18) painting a Georgia O’Keeffe Seashell. We discussed her work as well as talked about differences in oil and acrylic paints. We did this one in oil.

Fabulous!!!

And these girls worked so quickly that we were able to do a little miniature landscape also. I love how we all painted from the same reference photo but all got a little different look. Great job!!! Tomorrow we work in acrylics and we’ll be visiting Vincent. 😉

Art Camp, Ages 5-7 with Monet’s Poppies

We had a great day of Art Camp with the young artists painting Monet’s Poppy Field. We talked about Monet (that they like to call Money) and impressionism and they painted these fabulous paintings. Great job!

This was the first time we have offered camp for this young age group and they were great. How can you resist their happy faces when they show off their art.

The Twins with Framed Blue Dogs

Here are the Grady twins (with Gryffin photo-bombing) with their painting of Blue Dog. They brought it back in for me to frame for them. Wonderful!
