Rachel’s First Oil Painting

Posted in Art Class, tagged , , , , on July 22, 2012| Leave a Comment »

This is Rachel.  Her grandparents live in Front Royal and when she visits she often takes an art lesson with me.  Yesterday we painted together and she worked in oil for the first time.  What a terrific job Rachel.  Can’t wait until we paint together again!

Painting the Mountains with a New Friend

Posted in daily painter, Plein Air, tagged , , , , , , , on July 20, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Yesterday morning my friend Linda and I went up to Dickey Ridge Visitor Center to do a little plein air painting.  This was my set up and view to paint.

As often happens when I paint on location, curious onlookers will ask questions or comment on the painting.  And yesterday I met a really nice family from India, now living in Dubai.

Their daughter, Kiara, was very interested in what I was doing so I showed her and even asked her to help.  She took the brush and help put a little paint on the canvas. 

Kiara’s parents watched.  Her grandmother was there too.  They had flown into Canada and were touring the U.S. for a month.  What fun!  I’m glad they stopped at Dickey Ridge while we were there painting.

And then they were gone.  I had to finish the painting all by myself. 

So Kiara, here it is.  Our painting almost done. 

Anyone interested in purchasing this or any painting can contact me at kwalker@kellywalkerstudios.com .  It was a great morning of painting outdoors.  (And thanks Linda for snapping the shots of me and Kiara.)

The “Masterpiece”

Posted in Art Camp, Art Class, tagged , , , , , , on July 14, 2012| 1 Comment »

At the end of Art Camp week we always paint a “masterpiece”.  This week it was Van Gogh’s Starry Night and we painted it on a 16″x20″ canvas.  You can see how large it is with the young artists holding their finished work.  What a fabulous job they all did.  Don’t you love it.

Day 3 and 4 of Art Camp

Posted in Art Camp, tagged , , , , , , , on July 13, 2012| Leave a Comment »

 Day 3 of Post-Impressionism Art Camp had us painting a copy of one of Cezanne’s Still Life with Apples.  The young artists did a fabulous job with color mixing.

Then we did a quick miniature painting of a barn and even framed it. 

Day 4 we spent almost the entire morning working on a copy of Matisse’s Red Fish.   I love Matisse and while it was the hardest painting we have done in camp so far, the young artists did GREAT!   For the final day of camp we are doing our “masterpiece”, an extra-large painting of Van Gogh’s Starry Night.    I’ll share it with you in the next post.  Stay tuned!

This energetic group of young artists are doing splendid work!

Art Campers Paint

Posted in Art Camp, tagged , , , , , , , on July 11, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Art Camp started this week with three enthusiastic painters, Isaac, Mia and Peyton.  The first thing we painted was the color wheel while we learned about color mixing.

  Next we painted a mountain landscape scene to learn more about paints, brushes, canvas, and palettes.

 

 

 

This week our emphasis for study is Post-Impressionism so we paid homage to Boudin with a copy of his “Two Dogs in the Street”.

 

And Gauguin’s “The Siesta”. 

Can you believe we did all of us this in just two days?

Stay tuned to see what other lovely paintings these young artist make before the end of the week.
