My First Plein Air Workshop, Taught by Kyle Martin

This really shows our dedication to understanding values!

Does laughing too much mean we learned any less? Nope!

Look at that pallette

This is what I painted from my first Plein air workshop

Something New



Tumbling Down the River 12 x 16

OK so I haven't posted in awhile, but I have been painting.  I been finishing up some of my larger tigher pieces, so I thought I would post one. These take awhile, but I have not given up on painting looser; and I will get back to trying to get it!

Yellow Apple, Purple Grapes

The Supporting Cast

The gang is all here, except the orange (it was past fresh).  I tried to paint them carefully, trying not to muddy or over work them.

Red Apple and Leaf

Yep, you guessed it another apple!

Green Apple, Blue Bead

This Saturdays painting but it was too late to take a pic. The glass bead was harder then it looked, and it is something I try again later.

Glass Pear

Thought I would try glass.  I started the orginal composition and wiped it. Changed it to this and had problems with the glass then started to over work it. I think I will just paint fruit til I get it!

Green Apple , Red Marble

I'm starting to feel better, for the last two days think I am getting it. I also found that I have to clean my brushes when the time is up, or I will just want to....

Finally a Start

 Last night I searched for help on the DPW site and read some tips. One was going back and doing the timed excercises. Today was the first day I feel like I did something!

Two twenty minute sessions, didn't include set up, toning, or blocking it. Now I hope can keep it loose!

OK, Give Me Your Wallet

Painted over it!!!!!!!

Thought I would try painting a utensil (a metal knife).  When I finished today, this title would not go away. In fact I thought about cutting a slice out of the apple! This will be a !Paint over it"! I am just not getting to where I should be, any suggestion????
