The demonstration for this one will be posted on Expert Village in a couple weeks. It was done from a photo I took during a plein air field expedition to Italy we offered through the Sedona Arts Center with Kathryn Stats and John Budicin teaching. Here is the link to the Video. http://www.expertvillage.com/videos/painting-oils-one-session.htm
Over the past week I have been moving from Sedona to Flagstaff where my girls attend high school. They have discovered a wonderful charter school in the Flagstaff Arts and Leadership Academy (FALA). As one who has traveled far and wide in search of the right educational mix, (ultimately becoming the director of an art school - the do it yourself solution) I can only support them in their pursuit.
This move brings proximity to a new set of subject matter. The Grand Canyon, urban and university scenes, winter scenes and the dramatic drive to work in Sedona! New daily one-session paintings will resume posting on Oct 11.
As the Sedona Arts Center (where I work) moves into its plein air painting season with a festival and associated workshops at the end of October I will be focusing on the landscape. In the last week of October I will be participating in a plein air painting workshop with Marcia Burtt. Marcia is a terrific acrylic plein air painter. For that week I will work in acrylic on a slightly larger scale and will post the results daily.
Welcome to my blog, I will be exploring themes of landscapes, travels, figurative work and still life, updating as the work develops. Paintings are priced as marked. Email me to purchase a painting at italianwine@email.com
Please put "Painting" in the subject line.
"PAINTING WITHOUT FEAR" April 26 -30 2010 Sedona Arts Center (5 days 9am-4pm) TUITION: $ 600 (all materials included)
This beginning or refresher painting course will give you a ‘virtual toolbox’ of basic techniques and familiarity with the materials for painting with oils and acrylics. We will explore still-life and landscape (also using photography as a tool). A mid-week venture will have students taking photos and creating sketches on-site in the beautiful Sedona environment for later use in our studio. Each student will work with their own personal studio space within the larger classroom. Step-by-step projects will lead to surprising results in an atmosphere of fun and discovery. Lots of individual attention provided. All materials are included for student use during the workshop. Call the Sedona Arts Center to sign-up at 888.954.4442 or 928.282.3809
This workshop will be offered again Dec 13 - 17 2010
