December 11, 2010



Another sparsely attended class (must be the weather) gave us a chance to see "The Plan" in action. "The Plan" is a system of thinking, sketching and planning a painting that takes the artist from inspiration to some truly inspirational paintings. The bottom row shows the progression one artist's plan took. It was fascinating.

Only one more class before the holidays--and what a class it will be! We're going to have a holiday swap. We'll each bring a paint tube, brush or piece of equipment that, while perfectly good, doesn't work for us. Then we'll go round and pick from the pile of "rejected tools." Everyone will have a chance to clear space in their paint box for new and different things; and everyone will have a chance to try something new and different. This should be fun! Don't miss it!
