painting mackinac with a palette knife

2011-07-07T20:26:31Z

Working today with my students in acrylic to paint with a palette knife. This definately keeps you more loose with the application of paint. This is the Round Island lighthouse at Mackinac Island. I'm going to show there paintings sometime soon also.

Mackinac Island Here i come!

when I saw these two men raising the United States flag on the porch of the Grand Hotel, I felt I had to paint and give tribute to the history and service of Jamaican workers on the Island. This painting will be at the Manoogian Museum all summer. I'm taking it there tomorrow.

finished our lesson, looks more like a prairie painting than a Michigan painting. We will continue to explore lost and found edges, I feel that along with squinting , the edges are most important in painting.

Lessons in landscape painting

2011-06-02T20:02:21Z

we started a simple landscape painting in my Thursday AM class to demonstrate some principles used. The sky is usually your lightest area with the ground being about a medium value and buildings being darker. I am using acrylic and putting in darker tones under neath the grass, we are also exploring lost and found, hard and soft edges which is so important with painting.

We pretty much finished our cow painting in my painting class today. Cows, just there for us I guess, to eat their meat and drink their milk. Really enjoyed teaching the class and doing this painting.
