This was painted at the PAWA winter paint-in. Held in picturesque downtown Edmonds, it's always a great opportunity to catch up with plein air painting friends.

I've been trying to learn how to paint with a palette knife recently. Interesting learning curve there and like everything it has it's pros and cons. This piece was painted almost exclusively with a palette knife.

Glass Painting Demo

The September theme in the oil painting class I'm teaching was "Learning How to Paint Glass".  Wow! We had some great work come out of that class. We started the month painting upside down, black and white photos of glass and ended painting from life. This was my "painting from life" demo.

Another still life inspired by the oil painting class I'm teaching. We started back up with a bang last week after a summer break. Intermediate students worked on learning how to paint glass and the beginners worked on value studies of pears. It is such a kick to see what people create...

It turned out lovely!

 

 

Karen Bakke's wonderful glass study.

 

Carol's terrific pear. She says she is a beginner. I'm not so sure... :)

I have a feeling I probably should've posted this one

closer to Valentine's Day. Ah well, I couldn't wait that

long. I'm feeling better about painting on Ampersand

Gessobord. I think with this painting surface you either

have to be very bold with your paintbrush or

very delicate. Inbetween doesn't work very well.

I do really like the fact that it is an archival product

that is ready to go should someone decide they want it.

Happy Valentines Day a little over a month early!
