2019 Art Classes
Past Classes: Take a look at what we've created this year! And in 2018 and 2017!Acrylic Skies - 11/20/19
This final class I had paper with 4 squares and thought we would finish all the very small squares. I was actually thrilled that everyone took so much time they only got half way through the exercise and most only finished one square.
The idea was to create the color drift behind the clouds first and then put the clouds and mountains in last. This was much more time consuming than I planned for yet everyone completed one lovely sky piece and learned the concept of graded wash in Acrylic.

This last watercolor class for the year was focused on imitating yet developing and new look to old Vogue images. The idea was to design an image using several ideas from vintage Vogue Covers with a modern twist. I already know from doing the class that everyone wants to learn to perfect the graded wash so starting 2020 we will work on this technique. Several people were out sick so the class was intimate and the year ended with some sweet paintings.

This was truly one of the funniest challenges (though not easy) the class had to do. The concept was to put something unusual with an animal or bird.
I had an idea when I started my piece but decided just after I put a first coat down to put my rabbit in a wild abstracted background. It was so much fun, some frustration yet the results are full of laughter and joyfulness.

The lesson today was to create a card from images of other vintage cards yet
taking a little from this and a little from that and making the image your
own.
Most of the first part of the class was coming up with a design and I think everyone's concepts worked beautifully. These will make the perfect card for friends and family. Student Gallery (click to enlarge)Going to the Dogs - 11/6/19
This was a very powerful and moving class. You would think painting a golden
retriever would be easy yet there was a struggle going on because I had 4
new students and each one needed special care and support. The end result
was wonderful and the paintings are charming.
