Come Paint a Colorful Tree!

Come and Paint this tree (above) with us at the Parks and Rec multipurpose room at Foster Park! On Monday evening, Feb 25! 
This mini workshop focuses on painting this colorful and cheerful tree on a hilltop. We paint it in acrylics on canvas, and the technique is not very layered: you'll sketch it out (with help if you wish), lay in the sky, then trunk and purply-rusty shadows, then what a blast: put in those golden-greeny highlights and soft and pretty details and shadows in lavernder, pink, gold!
sign up by calling Parks and Rec at 770 781-2215, and you can pay at any parks and rec front desk. The workshop will be held Monday, February 25 from 7-9 PM at Fowler Park's Multipurpose room (click here for map and directions) 
I'm so excited to be painting new and fun subjects! Read on for more:

Winter Watercolor!

Image
Winter Watercolor Session is coming up!! I can't wait, and I've written a doc which has the landscapes we'll be using  which you can find here. I find that things work out best if we focus on some small "mini exercises" in the first hour of class: a piece of fruit, a wood texture, a tree, a mountain ridge...something simple which gives us the steam to do a small landscape painting in the second hour. A mini exercise is like this: or this: And a typical painting which we'll do in the second hour of class is like this: A little more involved: maybe some trees, some sky, some water, a few landscape elements which exist together on a page. We work on concepts like wet-into-wet vs. wet-on-dry, and we practice color mixing, how to handle your brushes, how to use enough paint and enough pigment in your paint, all of the basics. And, it's a blast! Come join us! You can call 770 781-2215 to sign up, and you can even just show up and pay $20

Paper Mache Cow Head

Image
I don't know why why why working on this cow head has been inspiring, but it has been. A drama friend got a dried, bleached skull to me, and I gooped it up and started layering paper mache on top...mesmerizing! The cardboard and chopsticks won't stay in Milky White's ears, but they are keeping the ears from curling inward. As you might guess, this is for a "Milky White" puppet for Into the Woods, which is what our local troupe is doing. : ) But seriously, falling in love with the paper as a medium, and thinking all kinds of strange thoughts like maybe I should sculpt. And it's funny, building a cow head on the real skull makes me feel so much sympathy for the gentle animal that was using that skull! It does make me happy that she has another life on the stage now. Have to finish her up with some toilet paper cellulose clay and figure out in puppet terms how to make her jaw OPEN only when a mechanism is triggered. I think I have noodled it out, but it s
