Tea Pot and Pine Cones
6x8in oil on linen $125. SOLD
I love this tea pot!
Artist Note.
I only teach small classes of 6 because I find I can
be of more help to the individual artist and
still keep my energy up.
The six in this group were all talented artists with
open minds. A wonderful group energy existed
almost from the very start.
Here are some of the paintings they finished
during the workshop. All went home exhausted
because they had finished several paintings in three
days, and the first day was all exercises...getting
used to the handy tool, brush and knife work!
None of them painted like this before the workshop,
but I have a feeling that some of the things they
learned will pop up in future paintings.
At least I hope so.
They all loved the handy tool I make...once they
got the hang of it. I admit to quite a few groans at first
but the enthusiasm grew quite loud as the days went on.
I did not get to photograph them all, but here are
a few of the pieces. Only the exercises were
the same for everyone. Afterwards, they were
encouraged to choose subject matter which
held an attraction.
Now I know how to teach it, I am excited.
It was a real high seeing the enthusiasm in
the group and hope the next one goes as well..
Your teapot is absolutely fabulous, Julie!!! Outstanding colors on the entire piece..Congratulations!!! And your students work is so impressive..you have to be so proud of their work..you're a good teacher.!
ReplyDeleteHI Hilda - thanks for the great comment on the work the artists produced. I cannot call anyone a student because I think ALL artists are students all of their lives, me included. I
DeleteFor me it is the joyful part of art to know it is continual learning.
I leave it to the professors and professional teachers to use the term student and I will stick to using artists.
Does that make sense?
You should love the tea pot. It is absolutely great! That color of red is amazing........as it all the art work from your students! How much fun for them and for you!

ReplyDeleteDear Julie - your art is beautiful - I can see you are a great teacher as well by the art your students turned out. Wish I lived closer so I could take a workshop. I think I would really enjoy oils if I had some lessons. I love the fracturing technique because it does look so painterly. The house from your previous post is lovely. Thanks for sharing my friend and have a wonderful week-end.
