Falling Leaves

The next adult class I'm teaching at the Loveland Museum Gallery is Falling Leaves.  This is an easy watercolor project learning how to apply glazes to create depth. You will finish at least one painting using this method-and have fun doing it. No experience required and all supplies included.

Classes at the Loveland Museum Gallery

I'm teaching several classes at the Loveland Museum Gallery this fall. The next one up is Monet's Haystacks. This class is for Kindergarden through Fifth grades. We'll use acrylic paint on canvas boards and learn how to paint Monet's Impressionistic Haystacks.

The next week I'll teach Permission to Play With Your Food for the same age groups. We'll use Model Magic to make tiny little  food sculptures.  The Loveland Museum Gallery's classes are a great way to introduce you or your child to art. All supplies are included.

Oil Painting Classes

McGregor Ranch Oil (sold)

I teach beginning and intermediate oil painting classes out of my home  art studio in West Loveland, Colorado.  The classes are limited to 5 students to ensure lots of private instruction. Here is my schedule for fall 2012.  You can contact me for openings.

October 11 & 18  Impressionistic landscapes
    We'll work in the style of the French impressionists; using dabs of complimentary colors to make your painting vibrant.  Pick your own landscape/photo or use one that I will supply.   The technique works for any subject matter.
Oct 25 & Nov 1   Harvest with Antiques
    We'll work on composition and paint a still life using fall produce with  fun antiques.  If you have anything you'd like to ad, that would be great.
Nov 8    Can this painting be saved?
     Bring your old oil or acrylic (yes oil can go on top of acrylic but not the other way around) painting/s  you are "stuck" on & we'll see if it can be salvaged. Nothing ventured, nothing gained :)  If you have nothing old, start something new of your choice...or finish up paintings from   other classes
Nov 15  Pallet knife painting
    Bring the subject of your choice (simple is better) & we'll swirl thick paint (bring Res n gel to be liberal) like Van Gogh
Nov 29  & Dec 6  Snow Scenes
    We'll paint winter scenes; (you may want to use to make a Christmas card-I'll show you how)
Dec 13 & 20   Miniatures
    We'll paint small (good excuse to get out those tiny brushes & futz) scenes to keep or  they would make marvelous gifts.

Dancing on the Keyboards

"Dancing on the Keyboards"

This new oil painting was inspired by a hike in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado.  We were on our way to Mills Lake with a gorgeous view of Longs Peak. Right before we got to the high alpine lake there was a perfect reflection of Longs and the Keyboard of the Winds.  This original oil painting is for sale, inquire for availability. Prints and cards can be ordered through Fine Art America.

Shavasana

Shavasana

I recently finished "Shavasana" which is an original oil painting on panel.  The scene is of a peaceful, remote lake in Ontario, Canada.  I got up early to capture the perfect stillness of the water with the mist rising with the sun.  The canoe is waiting for someone to break the reflection and paddle around the lake.  
This painting is for sale; please inquire for current availability.
