A Day with Matisse

Yesterday’s art camp focused on Henri Matisse. I love the brilliant colors and definite style of his work and I think the kids enjoyed it too!

Maggie and Isaac are working on their paintings and you can see Anastasia in the background hard at work.

And here is Peter and Anastasia working away.

Jade and Teaghan work on mixing just the right color to make it perfect!

Good job everyone. Now tomorrow we will show you our attempt at Pointillism.

Manet and Pollack, All in One Day

Yesterday at Art Camp we studied two very interesting artists, Edouard Manet and Jackson Pollack. That is the beauty of these combination weeks, we compare really different types of art.

Here are the “Lemonheads”! The girls painted copies of Manet’s “Lemon Still Life”. They did a great job!

And then we started working on a Jackson Pollack like drip painting. The young artists really LOVED this part. We went to the park so we could spread out and work with really thin paint.

Young Artists Paint and Draw

Posted in Art Class, tagged acrylic, Art Class, art lessons, daily painter, fruit, impressionism, lemon, Virginia Artist on April 23, 2012| Leave a Comment »

Wednesday’s Young Artist created these beautiful paintings of lemons this past week. Didn’t they do a great job?

Young artists, ages 7-12, paint with me each week on Wednesday or Thursday, from 4:15-5:15. We create something new each week as they learn about color mixing, composition, the use of painting equipment and much more. If you have a young artist that you would like to paint with us just contact me at kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com to register them for class.

I also have young artists who are a little too old for the Young Artists classes so they join us for adult classes on Wednesday or Thursday from 5:30-7. These classes allow students to develop their skills while working on a subject of their choice while receiving individual instruction. This is Liam, a new student who had excellent drawing skills, working on his fantasy drawing.

Lemon Glazing

Posted in Art Class, daily painter, tagged acrylic, Art Class, art lessons, daily painter, daily painting, fruit, glazing, impressionism, lemon, oil painting, underpainting, Virginia Artist on March 2, 2012| Leave a Comment »

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.
