Meeting New Friends

Posted in Art Class, Small Town Life, Travel, tagged acrylic, Art Class, art lessons, impressionism, oil painting, Travel, Virginia Artist on April 7, 2012| Leave a Comment »

One of the things I like best about working at the shop is that I meet really interesting people who are visiting our town. Last weekend I met these nice folks who were in town for the week for Spring Break. They were staying out at the State Park and doing fun things each day. I invited them to come paint with us if they had time.

Annabelle joined the extra-large class that we had on Wednesday. See more here. They did a great job painting and had fun too. So nice to meet you Lori and Annabelle.

Generally during Spring Break I have only one or two students who come to art class. Imagine my surprise when Wednesday I had 12 students! Wow!!!

They all did a great job. We painted a beautiful landscape of a gate that is out from Millwood.

The Thursday class did a fine job with the same painting too. Great job everyone.

I captured a photo of Kaylee and Dorothy with their finished pet portraits from Saturday’s Pet Portrait Workshop. (See it below.) Mara got away before I could get her finished photo. I’ll try to get a photo of her with the finished Max to show you all. They all turned out great! You girls are terrific. Thanks for making Saturday so much fun!!!

Let Me Brag a Little…

Posted in Art Class, tagged Art Class, impressionism, Virginia Artist on March 22, 2012| 2 Comments »

Today I want to brag about and show off a little of my adult student’s work. I often share with you the kid’s art but here is some of what the adults are working on.

Dean just finished this adorable Bunny in the Basket. He is doing a fabulous job on his painting often working on his own at home and bringing it in for critique. Keep up the good work Dean!

And here is Shelly working on her version of the Cyprus at Pebble Beach. Shelly’s work is always very good and she pushes herself to try new and more difficult paintings. Good job Shelly!

Pat is working on her largest painting yet-a gift for her daughter. The scale and detail are a challenge and Pat is going after it with gusto. You go girl!

Jean working on her golfer painting. We painted along on this one and she did a fabulous job!

(You can see Dean in the back of this photo so you can put a face with the first photo in this post.)

Keep up the good work everyone.

A Large Beach Painting

Posted in Art Class, tagged acrylic, Art Class, art lessons, Beach, daily painter, impressionism, Virginia Artist on March 15, 2012| 2 Comments »

At the Young Artist classes over the last three weeks we have been working on a masterpiece! Normally we paint an 8×10 or 9×12 painting each week. But recently we worked on these large 16″x20″ paintings of a beach scene. It’s good for them to paint large from time to time just to see what it’s like to cover a canvas that big and to have a nice large painting to enjoy. Good job guys. Keep up the good work.

Three by Matisse, Well Sort of…

I spent some time yesterday evening working on ideas for the kids to paint at Art Camp this summer. Check out info here for this summer’s schedule and photos from last summer.

The three Matisse’s you see here are my copies of three of his paintings that we did in art camp or art classes last year. I love Matisse so I am sure we will do others.
