I had a very good class today. There's something about being in a class with other people (as opposed to painting at home alone) - I like the interaction with other painters and I learn from them as well as the teacher. I am lucky to be in a semi-private class - there are only 3 of us in the class. Great fun! I am attaching a photo of today's painting. We are all painting "alla prima", meaning we finish the entire painting while the paint is wet or all in one session. I guess I just don't have the patience for going back and working on a painting for months on end. Although I always look at it for a few days to see if it needs any "fixing". I see a couple of things in today's painting that I need to do. This is a painting of the meditation garden at the Mission in San Diego. I painted it from a photograph. It is 11x14.
I have an idea for a figure painting - am hoping to work on that this weekend - will post any attempts I make!
