Happy New Year !!!!!


We met at Jan's house last week and had a very light turnout due to the flu. It was freezing outside but so nice and cozy inside of Jan's kitchen / art studio. 


Here's a start on a glaze painting from Jan. just a blue underpainting and a coat of burnt sienna. This will be fun to watch as the layers build up.

And Susan is starting on that interesting photo of the cat in the window. there will be two of these paitnings as Susan J. is doing this too. 


I set up a still life and did a demo. I think it is an excellent idea to keep working from observation now that we are stuck indoors. There are so many lessons that one gets about how to compose, paint light and shadow and use value that you just don't get with when you use a photograph.

This is Jan's


Joyce's


Mine


And hopefully I'll be able to ad Amalia's later today. I'd like to do something similar on Thursday.
