We focused on the horizon line, light and shadows......and you can see from the painting posted below the class is moving forward.
There was quite a discussion yesterday about the flow of paint, the fact your painting sometimes helps you if you take some time to focus on your painting and how it may morf on the canvas or paper you are drawing on or painting on. The exchange between the brain, hand, heart and God's help is amazing. It is exciting when we hold up a painting and look at it as a group, understanding that every stroke from you and God is a special gift. The paint brush is an extension between you and the medium......and that extension tool cannot always be controlled, so when we give it to God, He makes sure we learn something each time.......thank you class for a wonderful time yesterday.
Betty Jo Yommer completed this garden piece "Gazing Ball" the color structure is exquisive and the leaves in the corners are remarkable.....you could imagine sitting in a lawn chair watching the colors change and the sky roll by. Great piece.
Greenie.....by Claudia Henley
A beautiful piece by Mary Thomas......this piece has a sentimental value the more you look at it, the more you see the light traveling with the grandfather and son.
One week we all did humming birds this is Betsy's.....notice the background and the bird a simple piece, but very warming.
A beautiful barn by Betsy....the photograph of the painting is beautiful....in person the water oil painting is stunning.
Claudia did this wagon wheel and worked on a very minimal palette, then she added an opposite on the color wheel....that made the whole piece pop.
Betsy worked on this watery scene and let her brush and water just flow. It is mesmerizing...thank you Betsy.
Will post in 2 weeks what was done.....thanks for reading. k
