Artist in Action Art Demo Salado Art Experience

 

  My first time of painting in public - at the Artist in Action Immerse and Emerge this past weekend, was a blast!

 

I didn't take as many pics as I had wanted, but here is what I do have...

Painting away and making progress on this canvas!

I love this quote!  It is so true for me.

 

"I dream a lot. I do more painting when I'm not painting. It's in the subconscious".

-Diego Rivera

 

 

Ciena with Winery Cat...that is really her name:)

Some of the materials I used...I also had a table set up for the public to experiment with painting techniques...Wish I would have taken a picture. 

 

 

What I learned from my Public Painting experience:

-Music is important

-Having the public art experimenting table was a hit

-Having my daughters with me was great (in this small setting) but maybe not so much if it were a larger crowd

-More than two hours would be fine (it actually went by fast)

-One glass of wine was perfect

-I wasn't as nervous as I thought I would be

-I would like to do it again

 

 

Thanks everyone who stopped by to see me!

Stages of Creating Mixed Media Painting

I posted the picture of the beginning of my house painting I'm working on in my last blog post.

 

I've been working more tonight...look at the changes that have taken place!

I would say it's about 1/4 finished.
More to do!

Adding layers of paint and medium to build up texture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

What color do you see for the house?
I have been seeing red...but as the painting evolves, I'm not sure. Have to wait and see.

Happy New Year to All!

 

A new year to create and try new art techniques.

 

I have goals to try new mediums, experiment with new colors, and begin some new art challenges.

 

My art show is in three weeks-

Art Show A Painted House A Day

 

After I complete the show, I hope to dive into some new paintings.

 

 

Here is an art challenge to try... 30 Paintings in 30 Days

I am not ready to start this today, but would like to possibly, when the next months challenge begins.

 

 

Chalk the block

The pictures below are from some years ago when I worked with another artist friend in a collaboration to create a sidewalk chalk mural.

This was my first time to try this technique.

This sidewalk art was created in El Paso, TX at,
