"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes.  Art is knowing which ones to keep." - Scott Adams

Please enjoy these beautiful works of art by my illustrious students.  I'm so proud of your accomplishments!

The following is a quote that I read to my class today regarding values in painting.  As most of you know, I'm always stressing the importance of using tonal values (light and shade) in your work.  Camille Corot, the artist and teacher, instructed Pissaro: "You are an artist, you don't need any advice save this:  You must study value above all."

Values are tones; different tonalities are achieved by the effects of light and shade.  By portraying highlights, transitional lights, core of the shadow, reflected light, and cast shadows, you are able to emulate the third dimension in your artwork.  

Happy Painting! - Jill

"A work of art which did not begin in emotion is not art." - Paul Cezanne

One of the reasons I like my students to choose what they're going to paint is that I want them to paint what they're connected to, what they're emotional about.   If you paint what you are passionate about, your artwork will exude passion.

Below are the beautiful finished works by my students from last week and this week.  I love to see the diversity of what everyone paints!  What a joy to see all my students doing so well!

“What moves men of genius, or rather what inspires their work, is not new ideas, but their obsession with the idea that what has already been said is still not enough.” 

Eugene Delacroix 

Well, I told Jim that he was getting his own blog post for this painting and his enormous leap into an amazing place with his work!  Jim came to me just over six year ago.  He started in oil, progressed to acrylic and even journeyed into watercolor.  

The painting below is Jim's recent oil painting.  He travels abroad and comes up with some great scenes to paint.  The thing about Jim is that this past year, his work has blossomed to produce some masterpieces that are truly stunning.  We're all so proud of him.  I wish you could see this painting in person.  My photo doesn't begin to do this work justice.  The perspective on this piece was a very difficult challenge and Jim captured it like a pro!  Jim, congratulations and we love you!
