with Guest Instructor Steve Lubanovic

What a Wonderful Instructor we had for this landscape painting. All the beginners in this class can attest to Steve’s abilities just by looking at their beautiful paintings. We all just loved the class!! (And what a treat for me to have someone else instruct me.)

Oh! Sweet Peony Class

This is one of those paintings that just makes a person happy! Beautiful Peonies were painted on slate along with a trilling White-throated Sparrow. I was so very impressed that every painting of the Sparrow was quite beautiful and precise. All were very lovely paintings!

Intermediate/Beginner OIL over Acrylic - April 2008

Purple Clematis Class

There was lots of interest in painting this most lovely Clematis which is found in my garden. Overlay of oil on an acrylic basecoat allowed the acryic painters to feel a little ’safer’ in their first endeavors with oils… I just know they’ll someday love working with oils as much as I do! Just look at the pride in their smiles! What beautiful paintings!!

Pottery Collection Class

This was a finely detailed painting of 11 different vessels that kept the painters quite busy for 3 evenings; but the results were quite dramatic.

Folk Art Roses

Folk Art Rose Bowl Class

Intermediate Class - April 2008 

Folk Art Rose Bowl Class

This was a fun class for everyone! We all enjoyed creating a design around the bowl first using a “Wash and Lift” method - Very easy, yet looks great! I believe everyone had an easy time creating the Folk Art style flowers and were very pleased with their final painting. They all looked just wonderful! Now the bowls just need filled with snacks, flowers, towels or whatever. It’s a great little piece!
