Hi, TACers!
Slacker last week, sorry!
This week in Goldsmith’s: 22 - Make restful areas count
PAM started us off with an unfinished piece of a road, rock and trees. She needs to add more darks as there wasn’t much difference in values.
JANIE salvaged an old painting, adding a forest and a meadow with a restful spot. She used sponging, a filbert brush and pen.
SUE did a quiet beachy scene and did a great job or replicating wet sand. Good sense of distance. She saved white paper and used white crayon for the whitecaps. She is off to New York for museum adventures for a week!
AVELINA used figures in warm colors on cool backgrounds.
HEATHER blasted out a piece in five minutes! She gessoed an old painting and painted a subtle piece. A suggestion was to try watercolor medium instead as it won’t resist the paint as gesso does.
JOANIE used her Easter breakfast at Nick’s in Pacifica as inspiration for a wild seascape. Her rock was ambiguous.
CAROL D. had trees in snow and it really looked COLD!
SHIRLEY asked for advice for next steps on her blue and white Japanese piece. There were a lot of ideas.
Other conversation was about defining oneself as an artist and how everyone is changing and learning and how valuable is the exchange of ideas between us. There was also talk about brushes, filberts (nuts and brushes, games and stolen purses! You are missing all the fun!!!!
Next week: 45 - Suggest Vast Distances
Until next week, Joanie
