What a great class last week. The students didn't do a darn thing because I demonstrated one technique after another until we got to the point where they just said (as they like to do sometimes), "just keep showing us stuff, and we'll go try it at home."
We had great discussion about paint applications (pastels too) and brush stroke, values and how to creat movement in a painting. One gal is working on a tryptich - a big endeavor - and needed advice about that which fit right in with the days' discussion.
Sometimes it's trepidation and lack of confidence that holds us back.
If that is ever the case, just slap on some more paint and keep working!!!!
THIS WEEK WE ARE MEETING AT THE WEST END OF MAIN STREET AT MORGAN'S PARKING LOT TO STUDY FALL COLORS.
Bring whatever medium you want to work in. A chair or easel. (water, hat...if weather is funky we'll set up on the porch there).
If you're unsure, just come. I always bring extra materials for pastels, colored pencils or watercolor. I might even work in acrylics my own self. (I say that and then chicken out and go for the ink and watercolor)
Looking forward to seeing you!
