Quick Demo - Underpainting

"Tower" 24x30 acrylic on canvas NFS

This was a demonstration done in the gallery space at the Sedona Arts Center. Starting with a white canvas I did a few charcoal marks to start the drawing then jumped into a loose acrylic underpainting to start the painting process. I got as far as placing some palette knife work (still in acrylic) on the 'Tower' formation's right hand side. I anticipate finishing with oils after more development in acrylic. More later...

Moving

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.
