Over the last few weeks I have been posting Art Camp student’s art and today I wanted to share my art class students latest works. Several have finished some really nice paintings and I wanted to show them off. Here is some of their most recent paintings:

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.
Mary Cassett’s Lydia Seated in Garden with Dog
1880

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. 🙂

Last week the kids painted a Black Bear. They like painting animals and since so many have been spotted around here this year we thought this would be a good subject. Good work!

There has been so many great photos of students with their art to post lately that I didn’t want to forget to get this one in. Sam just joined my class about a month ago. She is a wonderful young artist and she just completed this beautiful painting of her dog Shadow who just turned one! Great job Sam! Keep up the good work.

The terrific thing about painting is that anyone can do it. If you have the desire to paint, you can learn to paint. Paint Parties are a chance to learn something new with a great group of friends. A little food, a little drink, a lot of laughing. And in the end you have a new painting. Why don’t you get a group together for a party of your own?
Last night we had a fabulous group of painters for their second party and look at the wonderful work they did! Super work everyone!!! It was so much fun. Read more about paint parties here.

A new session of Art Camp started yesterday with some fabulous young painters, ages 5-7, painting a wonderful sunflower based on one by Georgia O’Keeffe. They look so alive and brilliant! Great job everyone!

After having the Art Camp kids all week it was a nice break to only have one young artist in the regular class this week. (Some of my regulars were in art camp.) So she chose a sock monkey to paint. And a really great job she did on him!!!!
Way to go Logan. Keep up the great work!

Art Campers with “Monet”
Waiting for Varnish
We wrapped up session 3 of Art Camp with a wonderful Monet painting of the Lady with the Umbrella. We worked on it for two days and these young artists did brilliant job. I am sure their families are excited about the outstanding art that these artists produced this week at Art Camp.
If you have a young artist check out the remaining dates of Art Camp here.
