New Year with New Changes

The new year is about change. This season we are meeting on a different day, Tuesdays.  I know it doesn't work for everyone but it works for most of us.  We will leave Thursdays open for plain air painting. I already have a trip planned for the spring….Sandy Point Beach.  Just something to look forward to.
Our first session on Tuesday went very well. We connected to our creative side and painted our hearts out. Here is the results.

The line-up

Charlene painted this Tuscan country side…including 2 castles. She used watercolor to make this enchanting scene.
The values are wonderful, the dusty blue mountains recede and the warm earth colors come forward.
Fabulous Charlene!

Michelle sketched this barn using charcoal. The lines are very interesting with the peak of the
building going off the page. Wonderful shadows define the recessed section of the barn.
Wonderful, Charlene!

Sheila painted this scene of Sandy Point Beach using watercolor. The grasses are beautiful and she captured the
essence of this scene. Fabulous sky!  This is such a great painting, Sheila.!!

Sue painted this figurative using acrylics. This is just the blocking in stage…just the darks.

Sue painted this scene of Perry, Maine. High on a cliff looking down on the scene is the perspective she used.

The line-up

Carol painted this Tuscan city street scene using oils. She is blocking in the colors of the base and already
one can see the enticement of the scene. Fabulous colors, Carol. Beautiful Job!!!
