Jane has captured the bubbly personality of her daughter in this oil painting. Our usual colors for flesh are yellow ocher, a red- (cad red light , permanent rose or alizarin crimson, and whit)e...with lots of other colors as well.
Janelle LOVES painting children and has put many of her nieces and nephews on canvas. Janelle has a really great technique for painting hair...it looks so life-like, but painterly at the same time.
Racel painted this picture of her and her daddy as a surprise....of course he was emotional when he got it!!!!. Rachel is in grade 10 and has a great future as an artist. Don't I wish I had started that young!
Another teenager, Emily is painting a photo of her sister. She has already finished a great painting of her 'baby brother' and is working her way through the family! You can see her applying the color to the warm underpaintint in the hair. Almost finished!
Our Spring session is just about to start! Everyone starts the same way- with two required paintings to begin to learn the techniques. No, it is NOT a fast painting process, but it is a real education. It changes the way you see things and colors....and even how you take photographs from now on! So, don't be intimidated! Call 780-419-2055 if you are interested in joining us! We are also showing off our student's art at the trade show at Servus Place April 16,17, 18 in St. Albert, Alberta. You can visit and ask the student volunteers any questions you might have.
We will also have a 'MY ST.ALBERT" mural at the trade show...come help us paint it and see it in our gallery in May at the Mona Lisa Show! More info on classes is at my website.
Happy Easter to all!
