Rock Crashers Last Night.

Rock Crashers 9x12" Acrylic-Jeanne Guerin-Daley

Last night in King of Prussia, I had two students who both did a magnificaent job painting this image for the Michaels/Grumbacher Acrylic Painting Seascape class.

It always amazes me how different people will create a painting using the same image for reference, yet each person's result is totally unique displaying the individual style of each artist! I always have fun painting this seascape. Everyone's favorite part seems to be the water spray.  Once you learn the technique, it's not that hard to achieve a realistic effect. We alternate between two brushes to do it.

***If you missed it, your next chance at painting a seascape is next week at Conshohocken's Michaels store.

Don't forget, coming up this weekend:

Kids ONLY painting class!

Rock Crashers Painting ... at Sunset!

At last night's Fine Arts Painting class in King of Prussia my students and I painted a seascape image which I created for the program called "Rock Crashers" although, we changed it up a bit. The original painting has a fairly simple blue sky with some white clouds. I repainted it the other day, a miniature version, just for fun, and I decided to add some sunset type colors to the sky. It made for a more visually interesting picture, although we found out in class that those extra steps made it more difficult for my students to complete the painting in the short two hour class!

I was thinking maybe to do a miniature class sometime... What do you think? If you were a potential student, would you be interested in taking a workshop in which you could complete a tiny painting, like say, 5x7 inches? I realize that for some images, painting small doesn't necessarily mean a shorter painting time, but sometimes that is the case. If there is a lot of detail in the image, it can still be time consuming.

What, if anything, would stop you from registering for such a class?
