Olivia with an Iris

Posted in Art Class, tagged , , , , , on January 11, 2012| 2 Comments »

Olivia painted this beautiful Iris last weekend for her grandparents.  She did a lovely job.  She takes private lessons with me. 

I have many young artists painters that I work with either in class (ages 7-12) or taking private lessons.  Kids younger than 7 often do best with one on one instruction in art.  If you have a budding artist, get in touch with me about signing them up for art lessons or class.  They’ll love it!   kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com

Another Show

Posted in daily painter, tagged , , , , , , , on November 21, 2011| Leave a Comment »

I have spent the last few days trying to pull together about 35 paintings for an invitational show at the Blue Ridge Arts Council.  I deliver the paintings today and they will hang through the holiday season. 

Joining me in the show is Terri Nicholson who also teaches art classes.  We were asked to  show many of the demonstration pieces that we have done for our classes.  The great thing about these paintings is that they sell at lower prices because we generally don’t spend as much time on them as we do a painting that we work on in our studios.  But they are still wonderful original pieces of art…and they are really affordable.

So stop by the Blue Ridge Arts Council and see the show.

Bee on Coneflower, oil, 6×6, $125.

Art Camp Week 5 – Monet’s Poppies

Posted in Art Camp, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on August 23, 2011| Leave a Comment »

The final week of Art Camp for the summer began yesterday at the Blue Ridge Arts Council. 

We started by painting the color wheel and learning about color mixing.  Then the young artists went on to learn about Monet and we painted this lovely version of Monet’s poppy field using just the three basic colors – red, yellow, and blue, plus white. 

Can you believe they did this with just those colors?  Great job guys!
