Mostly everybody in the class was finishing up last week’s challenge to sketch and paint a bowl of petunias. I didn’t sketch last week, and just went ahead and painted my Petunias in one sitting … so, I pretty much was able to paint what I want.

I was dreading this week’s class because last week the plan was to try to paint the Northern Lights – which, I did on Class 11, the last class I took back in December 2010.

This was my second class in 2012. My second class in 2010 was about acrylic colors … where we spent a whole class making a color chart from 3 basic colors (red, yellow and blue) and white and/or water. Although I wouldn’t say I am a master at this, I wanted to just start in and paint! (more…)
Take Two! Yvonne and I took classes with Guy St. Goddard Sept-Dec/2010 and stopped after my father passed away Christmas 2010 morning. But, in Sept/2011 I started to do these speed painting videos, and really started liking the extra time on weekends to paint something. So, Yvonne signed me up for another 10 classes in 2012 with Guy St. Goddard once again!

Well .. although my “Victoria Beach Experiment” wasn’t ~too~ bad … there was a general consensus that it did not meet up to my “impressionistic” standards! I agree that it seemed to lose some depth in its colors and shorelines and what the heck was I thinking about that yellow bush? lol

Today we finished the pictures we started in Class 4 … and (at least for me) try to gain perspective in the pictures.

By the way .. we decided to further our classes into the 10 class course! We are having a ball!
