We had a new student in class yesterday morning so I painted this demonstration piece so he could follow along. Still a few final details to add in but we got a great start.
If you have ever wanted to paint consider joining us for class on Wednesday or Thursday at the Blue Ridge Arts Council.

Last year my friend Mario shared a wonderful photo of his son riding his bike for the first time without training wheels. I loved it so I painted it yesterday. Thanks Mario for allowing me to paint from such a terrific photo.

Got to paint outdoors in this beautiful weather this weekend out at the cabin. I got a great start on a piece but when I got home yesterday and wanted to put finishing touches on it I realized that I had left it there. So maybe I can finish it up in a few weeks.
And this is what the helpers do while I paint. What would I do without them? 🙂

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.

This is Max Booe.
This is Max’s portrait.
This is Judi, Max’s mom after she received the gift of Max’s portrait from the friend who commissioned the painting. She likes it.

This is an underpainting of acrylic in black and white where we allowed the underpainting to dry totally and then put glazes of oil paint on top. This technique is a great way for students to learn to see light and shadow. We will be painting this lemon soon in our Thursday evening adult class. Lemon, oil on canvas, 5″x7″, available for $75.
