Muting colors....

My style is typically very vibrant...could be a personality thing...but muting colors is an important part of painting.  Every color on this little foggy painting has been de-saturated or muted in some way.  Had I used the paints right out of the tube, I would not have achieved this foggy effect.  Happy Painting!!!

A few Saturdays ago I got to participate in the "Nut's About the von Liebig" day.  I've taken a few photos of the kids doing various art projects and below is Mary Sheehan Winn who also teaches a class here at von Liebig.  Fun day.  It's so fun seeing our "future artists" out with their family and making some fun projects. 

This is Mary with one of her little still lifes. 

 

Happy Painting!!!!!

Last class of 2012 !!!

Fun, Fun, Fun!  What a great time this past Saturday!  Thank you everyone in my Kentucky classes for making this such a great year and I can't wait to get started again in April.  Don't forget to practice over the winter!  Happy painting....and here's a few photos from the last class. 

 



Kentucky's Natural Arch paintings....

Great job on those Kentucky Arches everyone!  Something a bit different for us, but definitely a landmark of Kentucky!!!!  Happy Painting!



Fun painting this past week....

I just hate that I didn't take photos of all the paintings from this weekend.  What a fun painting this week.  Keep up the good work and can't wait to paint again this Saturday.  Right now class is full for the simplified Natural Bridge painting, but you can let me know if you want to be in the waiting list.  Happy Painting!!!



Great job on those trees!

 

I have to say that I'm always amazed at how much fun I have in these classes.  What a great job I have!!!  Wonderful job last week everyone!  Can't wait to paint again on Saturday!!!  Happy Painting!
