Artist Studio
Well my blog has been fixed by my wonderful friend Christine and I sure am happy I know her. Thank you so much.
Here are a couple of demonstrations from my classes this week with the value patterns that I use for the painting.
Here is my mornings efforts at correcting and polishing up my last couple of demonstrations for my Monday morning plein air class. In both of these paintings I worked at pushing the backgrounds back using a more violet greys, and bringing the foregrounds forward with texture using a palette knife and chip brush, applying intense reds yellows and greens. The oils are coming along but it will be a year or so before I really feel I have turned the corner. I plan to spend the first two months of 2015 outdoors painting trying to get the winter greys down. I think that is the only way. Thanks for putting up with my oils I know they will get better.
Today I am going to show a step by step demonstration of an oil painting I worked on today, I am sure that it is not finished but it has enough of the work completed that I can talk about it as if it is done. I used as my reference an oil painting I painted about a few months back and I was never very happy with it, although I have found a lot of people like it. I find it to be too clumsy and disjointed so I decided to try it again. The painting below is the first work and the one above is today’s piece.

Also, let me know if there is anything that you would like to see me demonstrate in a future video.
