My New Weekly Studio-Workshop

Last Tuesday afternoon, four artists joined me at the Vida McKenzie Community Center to paint, get some instruction, and receive pointers on improving their work. This will be a weekly event, Tuesdays noon to 4 p.m. The Community Center is about 25 miles up river from Eugene/Springfield, and 12 miles down river from my house in Blue River. There is plenty of room for a large group. I'm charging $25 a session. Feel free to contact me, or just show up.

 

 

The idea I shared was to work on a sheet of watercolor paper with an underpainting. I prepared 2 sheets the night before, both using a triad of primary colors. The following 2 paintings were painted over an underpainting of alizarin crimson, aureolin yellow, and cobalt blue.  The floral was painted in Tuesday's session.

 

I haven't figure out how to finish this piece, but it's been fun dropping in a mixture of colors and painting around the shapes.
