Fun class!


Here's a couple of photos from both classes this past Saturday!  Wonderful job on those cliffs!  I'm so proud of how many of you embraced using the palette knife for this work.  Learning to use new tools is a big part of gaining control in your artwork.  Great job everyone and happy painting!!

I survived!!!!

What a great class and thanks everyone for your patience and help for me to get thru it.  We really do miss my daughter Jac when she can't help out! 
Great job everyone on those barns and remember that the best way to approach a building is to break it down into basic shapes.  Here's a few more photos from the 2nd class.  We had 21 students saturday and I'm sorry I didn't get to take more photos of your great work!  Keep it up everyone!!!




Happy Painting!!!!!

Congratulations Julie!

Congratulations Julie Brawley on winning Christine's contest!  I can't wait to have you come paint with us in class. 


This painting is done all with the Liquid Clear instead of the Liquid White.  Remember when using Liquid Clear to make sure you blot as much of the thinner out of  your brush as possible after cleaning it.  Liquid Clear and the odorless paint thinners/turpenoids, don't mix.  You'll get sort of the same effect as "crackling" medium.  Another way to prevent this is to make sure you have plenty of paint on your brush.  Happy Painting!
