July August SUMMER FUN - animal portraits

Saturday, June 21, 2025

Hello Folks and Happy Summer officially,

I have been working behind the scenes on some new and fun ways to create our animal and pet portraits. I have filled lots of pages in my sketchbook as it is my alchemical laboratory, truly.

First off here's a fun little graphic for the new Theme, starting in a week.



The last week in July is a Vacation week....enjoy! So please note that Week One of July for Monday students is actually June 30th.


So here are some animal portraits I have been experimenting with.  Gouche, acrylic, collage, and all sorts of mixed media.  Because, why not?  It's so much Fun!








Those are all from my sketchbook, below are some independent paintings....larger (though not large at all) and on paper.

Low Key Bunny Experiment

High Key experiment

Abstract painting, collage, negative painting and finesse!

 Not done with this one, I am awaiting a delivery of some new type of markers, can't wait to play some more. 


Looking for something creative to do this summer?  Join us - call it Summer Art Camp -- you won't regret it. I am full of ideas if you want encouragement and direction as to how to paint more loosely and expressively......you can also paint Your Way, any time. 

More info below, check it out.




Ready to join us?

There's plenty of creativity, inspiration and fun to go around.

Blessings, Joanie
