A Piece Of Beach

 

Click Here For More Info:  $120, 6x6 inches, acrylic on 1/8" Ampersand Gessobord

I experimented painting this four times (see previous post) changing colors, adding a horizon line in some and using different background tones.  This ended up being my favorite.  The photo reference was cropped from a much larger photo from pixabay.com with a huge beach scene including two cruise ships in the background.  

I use professional artist acrylic paints in all my acrylic paintings for permanence and longevity.  Ampersand Gessobord has a professional quality acid-free acrylic ground on a wood museum series panel.

Beach Dreaming

 

One of the drawings from the Virtual Winter drawing class I'm currently teaching.  The theme was travel and winter get aways.  We've been drawing, sail boats, palm trees, a still life of a smoothie in glass stemware with all the fun embellishments of a bar drink.  You have to order one of those when on vacation right?  It's been a fun journey with my twelve students.  I may post some student work later.

I'll be teaching a virtual spring drawing class beginning March 27th for eight weeks through Rumriver Art Center.  The bees will be buzzing, flowers blooming as we explore drawing methods and techniques such as line, shape, value, proportion and composition using a variety of pencils.  For more information here is a link to the class posting.
