The 2nd Annual Chickens in the Road Retreat

Heather, Nancy, Karin and Bill

was held this weekend at Camp Shepherd in West Virginia.  (Remember the painting of the chickens I did for a poster a few months back.  See it here.)  There were a multitude of workshops to choose from where attendees learned everything from painting to cheesemaking to container gardening to apron making and much, much more. There was  a diverse group of life-long learners there taking it all in.  And they were from all over the United States and even one from Canada! I taught six classes – three for Canvas Painting and three for Gourd Painting.  Most of the students shown here had never painted.  And didn’t they do a TERRIFIC job.  It was so nice being with all the attendees and helping them develop new talents.  Tomorrow we will look at the Gourd Painters!

Painting Party!

Posted in Art Class, daily painter, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on September 10, 2012| 1 Comment »

Painting should be fun!  As these delightful ladies found out last Friday evening.  I was thrilled to paint with them at their “Girls Night Out” and we had a terrific time.  Even though a couple were hesitant at first about giving it a try, in the end they were all really glad they did and thrilled with the result.

Painting Parties are great fun for kids or adults.  And there  are many, many subjects to choose from to tailor it to whatever theme you may have.  Check out more information here and contact kwalker@kellywalkerstudios.com to book your party today.

Great job ladies and thanks for all the laughs.  I had fun too!

Yesterday afternoon at out Kids Painting Class we painted Lincoln.

Lincoln would love this, of course, because he loves being the center of attention! 

And didn’t Logan and Sam do fabulous jobs on their paintings. 

And they did this is just one hour.  WOW!

Just for a point of reference, this is the photo we used and my demo painting.  I didn’t get finished with mine yet.  But I will get to it.  🙂

Drip Art

As you know, I work with kids art classes on Wednesday and Thursday at 4:15 at the Blue Ridge Arts Council.  And while I attempt to  complete a painting, a still life, a landscape, etc.,  almost every week, this is what they would love to do.  Drip paintings or splatter art is one of their favorites.  This is a piece I did on wood with them several weeks ago.  They love to just drip the paint and see what happens.

My Wednesday Adult Class was jealous that I had only posted my young artist’s paintings recently so they posed for me last night.  Here’s Pat with her terrific painting of Jack and Pokey.  And Shelly is hiding behind the lovely door painting that she is working on this week.  Nice job ladies.

 

 

 

And here are the young artists with their finished Jackson Pollack inspired drip painting.  Excellent!

Manet and Pollack, All in One Day

Posted in Art Camp, tagged , , , , , , , , on August 1, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Yesterday at Art Camp we studied two very interesting artists, Edouard Manet and Jackson Pollack.  That is the beauty of these combination weeks, we compare really different types of art.

Here are the “Lemonheads”!  The girls painted copies of Manet’s “Lemon Still Life”.  They did a great job!

And then we started working on a Jackson Pollack like drip painting.  The young artists really LOVED this part.  We went to the park so we could spread out and work with really thin paint.
