Thursday Trivia

Posted in daily painter, Trivia, tagged , , , , , , , , , on January 14, 2010| 1 Comment »

“Miniature Snow and Fence” is an oil on 3″x5″ stretched canvas.  This painting is available for $40 by contacting me at kwalker@doubledogdesigns.com .

Today I am introducing a new series.  Each Thursday I will try to answer a “trivia” question about art.  I get questions all the time about little things related to painting.  This is where I will address those questions.  Who knows?  Maybe we will learn something on Trivia Thursday!

Today’s question is about the different length of handles on brushes.  Why are some brush handles longer than others?  The short-handled brushes are generally for watercolor painting or painting where you sit close to the piece you are working on.  Long-handled brushes are used mainly for oil painting.  When painting oils you want to try to stand up at the easel.  That way you can stand back from work and look at what it needs.  If the brush has a longer handle then you can put paint on the canvas by standing back from it and seeing where it needs more work.  Many instructors teach new painters to put one stroke on the canvas and walk back a couple of steps.  Then decide where the next stroke of paint should go, put it on and walk back.  This is why you see painters on tv stepping back and looking at the work, generally with their head cocked to one side.  The head cock is optional.  🙂

New Paintings and the Boys!

Posted in daily painter, Dogs, tagged , , , , , , , on January 13, 2010| Leave a Comment »

Winter Trees is an oil on canvas panel measuring 6″x8″.  It is available by contacting me. 

I didn’t post for a few days because the “boys” and I went out to the cabin for a few days and we don’t have internet service there. 

Truman and Jed enjoy running and playing there, off the leash, chasing whatever moves!  Of course with all the snow still on the ground there Truman wasn’t as big on the running and playing as Jed was.

Truman walks out the front door and licks the snow.  While Jed wants to run. 

Here Jed is saying, “Look Mom, he’s blocking the way again!”

“I’m making a move now.  Look; there is  a frozen pond out there that needs checking out!”

If you have ever wanted to learn to paint let me remind you that we have classes at the Blue Ridge Arts Council on Wednesday at 5 p.m. each week.  All levels from beginner to advanced are welcome to join us.  And if that time doesn’t suit you, just contact me to work out a time that will.  I’d love to work with you so that you can enjoy creating paintings as much as I do.

The Rincon House is an oil on 9″x12″ canvas  panel.  I just finished it yesterday.  I started it while on vacation last week.  It is my brother’s family house in Rincon, Georgia.  I got to see them while away last week and we had a nice visit.  I showed them the beginning of the  painting and promised to wrap it up this week and get it ready to send to them.  Now I just have to wait for the paint to dry.  🙂
