Art Classes Roswell GA. (Values on a Sphere)

I am always talking to my students about value.  When you look at this sphere below, you can see there are so many more shadows and highlights than meets the eye.  For those serious students, I would take the time to draw this with your fine pencils.  The highlight is where the light hits the sphere.  Transitional light is the middle value from light to dark.  The core of the shadow is the area on the sphere that is the furthest from the light.  The reflected light is the area that is reflecting the light from the table.  And, the cast shadow is the shadow that the sphere is casting onto the table.

Accomplished artists understand how to use value changes in their paintings.  It creates the illusion of three dimensions on a one dimensional surface.  Please take the time to draw this and you will learn so much!  My website:  CLICK HERE

Students Work (Art Classes Roswell, GA)

All of a sudden we have gone from Spring to a very hot summer.  I love the change of seasons.  I think it adds diversity and change to our lives and often sets us on a new path.  Often, the change of season can bring on new inspiration for ideas to paint.

Here are some recent completed works from my students.  Kudos to my students who once again have done a magnificent job! - Jill

Crescent Beach Waves by Jill Saur

My morning devotion by Sarah Young begins with these words:  "IN A WORLD of unrelenting changes, I am the One who never changes.  I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.  Find in Me the stability for which you have yearned.

When I was at the beach last week, I spent a lot of time enjoying, observing, and photographing the waves.  I thought about how since the beginning of time, there are no two waves that have crashed upon the shore exactly the same.  Each wave is unique, yet it is composed of the same substance.  So it is in our lives.  We all have different compelling circumstances, yet we all feel the same pain, sadness and joy.

When I observe nature, I can't help but marvel at God's creativity and brilliant allure.  I suppose I love the ocean so much because I took great solace from the sea as a young girl going through life's difficult changes.  I am happy to have had the time to feel that same renewal once again.  I look forward to the paintings that will emerge from my soul onto the canvas as a result of this trip.

To my students, I recommend making a point to truly study what you are passionate about.  Your paintings will be so much richer and your journey more rewarding.

Rebecca's Art Show (Art Classes Roswell, GA)

This past Tuesday, Tom and I went to Rebecca's art show at her high schools brand new art building.  I was so proud of Rebecca and thought that her show was just spectacular!  Rebecca has been taking art classes with me for five years now and she will be heading off to college in a few months.  I will miss her!  She is very creative, smart, and an all around nice person.  I have watched her grow as an artist and I have no doubt that she will continue to paint and create dynamic works of art.

Wednesday Morning - Art Classes Roswell, GA

Today was a great day.  Among other things, we talked about the space that you leave in a painting.  Negative space is also a shape and should always be taken into consideration!
