Final Week of Art Camp Begins

The final week of Art Camp started yesterday with a fine group of young painters. And as usual, we started by painting a color wheel. As I told the ones who have painted with me before and already painted a color wheel, you can never paint enough of them. I’ll bet I’ve painted several hundred over the last few years and learn something every time I paint one.
The first painting we did was a landscape in an impressionistic style. And didn’t everyone do a fantastic job? Just wait to see what we do tomorrow!

This is Sasha. I painted her for the winner of a drawing that was held at Sassafras Farm in June. Remember when I went over to paint the murals there. Check it out here.
While there Suzanne had a fundraiser for the horse rescue where she got Patriot and Zip and anyone who donated $25 or more got their name entered in the drawing. Sasha’s mom was the winner.
So here she is.
So off she will go this week to her new home. Thanks Suzanne for giving the painting as the prize for your drawing. And thanks for letting me help with the fundraiser for Phoenix Equine Rescue. (See more about it here.)

As we wind down toward the end of “Famous Painters Art Camp” week the young artists completed their Hopper painting yesterday. They did a fantastic job with all the detail work on this one.
And then we started our final painting of the week – Warhol’s Shoes! More tomorrow on those…
Lots of Artists!

My Wednesday Adult Class was jealous that I had only posted my young artist’s paintings recently so they posed for me last night. Here’s Pat with her terrific painting of Jack and Pokey. And Shelly is hiding behind the lovely door painting that she is working on this week. Nice job ladies.
And here are the young artists with their finished Jackson Pollack inspired drip painting. Excellent!
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.

First day of Art Camp and we painted a color wheel to learn about color mixing and then we did a mountain scene painting. Everyone did a fabulous job!

3 Paintings of the Dickey Ridge View

Last Thursday I painted at Dickey Ridge. Often when I paint on location I paint at least one painting and sometimes start a second. This particular day I did that plus started a third. Many painters paint multiple canvas of the same subject. Think Monet’s Haystacks and his Cathedrals.
Here are the three paintings I completed from that plein-air outing.
