The “Color Wheel Star” Quilt is completed. This is a Quilt as You Go project and we will be offering this project as a workshop soon. Watch for the date. The best part is this can be done in just a couple of days….and you can make the star in a variety of ways. Here is another version that we are working on that is made with Christmas fabrics.

For a couple of years now we’ve been asked to work with international students who attend Virginia International Academy in Front Royal. These four students are all from China and yesterday we had our first session….without electricity due to the windy weather. Even without lights we created color wheels and discussed color mixing and painted these nice little sketches using just three colors- Ultramarine Blue, Cadmium Yellow Light, and Cadmium Red Medium plus a little Titanium White. Pretty good for just three colors in about 30 minutes! Looking forward to working with these students for several more weeks.

We started our Post-Impressionism Art Camp yesterday as our 9 young painters recreated a Mary Cassatt painting of the “Woman Standing, Holding a Fan” from 1878-79. These girls did a wonderful job on this piece. We also created a Color Wheel and talked about the importance of color mixing before we began painting our masterpiece. Next up….Gauguin!
