 "Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness.  It trains the mind through the eye, and the eye through the mind.  As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life." - John Lubbock

In class today, I showed my students one way to set up a still-life. I use my iphone to check and crop my composition. Still life paintings aren't easy but they're one of the best ways to improve your painting skills. If you've never painted a still-life, start with just one piece of fruit. The most important aspects are composition, value, and then color. I'll be painting this one in oil.

If you're interested in taking a class with me, I have a studio in Roswell, Ga. I teach beginner, intermediate and advanced painters. Please visit my website to learn more. Come join the fun! - Jill Saur

 "While talent or genius must exist, at best they are merely embryonic factors and no one can guide these into productive artistry without the initiative, perseverance and determination of the student.  To say that the artist is born and not made, is only partly true.  Actually, while it is an important qualification, there is no proof of real worth in talent until it has been developed and expanded by a tremendous amount of serious study and plain hard work." - Edgar Payne

Please enjoy these truly stunning works by my industrious, creative, and awesome students! It's very rewarding to watch my students grow and do such beautiful renderings of what they love!
