Simple Techniques in Painting Class!

Painting Supplies
Happy Valentine's Day!  

Welcome to my oil painting class.  In today's class, we used simple techniques to establish our new painting setups.  We will finish our paintings next week and achieve a "master" work of art.  These talented artists are quick learners and always ready for new challenges.

Millie Shott Demonstrating
Another Time, Another Place:
Last Saturday I attended a painting demonstration by accomplished artist Millie Shott.  Millie showed how to create a landscape painting by using ink, water and salt.  Simple and unexpected.

During our afternoon, we also met Liz Gerstein who is trained in handwriting analysis.  Liz assessed each of our artists' signatures and gave us hidden insights into our personalities through our written letters.  It was great fun to be with all the artists and learn some new things in the process.

Happy painting!
