The first 3 hours.....

And here are the results!!! Stay tuned for next weeks 



final paintings

Wonderfully unique interpretations!
Drawing, value and color blocking produced some interesting results!
Expressive brushwork Workshop at Hidden Talent Art School

Another BIG step at the workshop!




We did it! Or at least we are half done- our Saturday workshop was so cool! We 'drew' directly onto the stained canvas and used the 'subtractive method' to remove all the lights. The 18 of us are going to finish a complex oil painting in less than 6 hours and have fun incorporating 'painterly brush strokes' too!

This direct style of painting is in sharp contrast to our indirect, monochromatic smooth surface painting that we excel at at Hidden Talent. This 'next step'  had the whole class excited. The results were more than I could have hoped for :0) . Just you wait until next Saturday!!!
