Art 2023 - Let's Start with Trees & Color
Thursday, December 29, 2022
CLASSES BEGIN this coming week! Jan 2 and 4th.
JANUARY THEME - Trees
Start looking in your photo album, or take a hike and snap some photos. You may have a beloved tree in your backyard, or on your street. Or find one in a magazine....and then use your imagination to alter it.

The view can be far away, close up, just the bark, the leaves.....but DO LOVE the reference or variations of the reference, as we will be doing some color studies with it throughout January. It's a tradition to begin the year with color theory/color studies. So stay tuned. Color is infinitely fascinating. I keep a very Zen mind about it.....there is always so much more to discover.
ALSO, New this coming year, I am adding an annual THEME as well:
Interesting and Varied Supports
We will be painting on different supports aka surfaces, than our usual paper and canvas a few times this coming year. Not every month, worry not. So stay tuned for some mixing it up. Different surfaces allow us to try something new as well as discover texture, the myriad ways that paint reacts to slippery, dry, wet, and other surfaces. Aging techniques and sculptural, too, will be explored. Let's make some new Discoveries as we continue to hone our painting skills together in our lovely art community!
NEW STUDENTS WELCOME - but seating is limited so please get in touch asap. I do offer, however, a video student option. Receive the weekly videos and participate in our private Facebook group where you can submit your work for feedback and inspiration. Don't worry about not being able to attend the "live" session. You will still be very much a part of our art community.
