STUDENT ART SHOWCASE 2013-2014

Here are a number of terrific paintings by you,
my wonderful, talented students, 
completed during this past school year. 

Please let me know
if one of your paintings
is missing from this showcase,
and simply email an image of it to me
for inclusion in this special post!
 

The artists who created these works were

both seasoned painters as well as newcomers. 



 

As you will see,
the artists used either acrylic, pastel or oils,

and they certainly employed

a number of different painting styles.

Most of all, they all shared
their common love of painting!

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Although I tried to photograph and post all paintings

completed in class, I may have missed a few.

 

Note to my students:

If you don't see your painting among those presented,

I'll be happy to add images of additional works. 

 

  Simply email your images to me,

and I will upload them to this post.

 

Warmest regards,

Diane

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two Valuable 1/2 Day Workshops

 Being Held THIS Saturday

March 8, 2014

 

(*Painting by my good friend, Ira Margulies)

"The FUNdamentals of Mixing Color Accurately" half-day workshop will be held from 9AM to 12PM at The Art School on Palmetto Park Road.  We will be covering the crucial facets of color mixing and learn a four-step process by which we can more easily and successfully mix the colors we need.

 

What is more frustrating than seeing the color in your subject, but being unable to reproduce it with your palette?  Once the basics are understood, then color mixing is no longer left to chance.  Colors are fresher, less pasty or muddy, and painting is more fun and successful! This workshop is for artists of all levels who want to strengthen their color mixing skills so they can create the colors they need.

 

 

"The FUNdamentals of Drawing Accurately" is also a half-day workshop being offered in the afternoon, at the Art School on Palmetto Park Road in Boca Raton.   Throughout the half-day  workshop, an assortment of tried and true methods, as well as a number of unusual but effective ways of "getting it right," will be explained.  (*This wonderful piece of 3-D art can be found at the following site: angeli7.deviantart.com)

Learn how to save time by finding basic errors right away and make adjustments early on, so the drawing is correct and the painting is strong.

 

So many times, it is tempting to rush through the "drawing stage" of a painting, only to discover errors after the painting has begun.  Then, we are stuck having to go back and spend hours trying to rework the painting. We fix errors that could easily have been prevented, had we been aware of them before we moved on to the painting.  Learn how to avoid those pesky errors in the first place!

 

Artists of all levels are welcome to refresh their skills and learn new techniques of drawing more accurately, so creating art can be more fun and relaxing - and successful!

 

 

 To register for either workshop,

please call The Art School at (561) 392-2503. 

Hope to see you Saturday!
