Waiting for something can be as exciting as the upcoming event itself.
Spring is late this year, and that makes us more impatient. Everyone is tired of storms, cold, snow and icy winds. However, why to wait when you can create sensation of spring and speed up its arrival on your own?
We’ve been busy with blossoming apple trees painting during the last 4 classes.
Unlikely many North American art schools, we are focusing not only on technical abilities, but also on the emotional impact of our creations. We pay attention to emotional aspect and the energetic potential of painting.. Great art creates fantastic energy.
When painting a certain subject, we are trying to capture not that much its photographic likeness, but rather to implement the idea and emotions, the emotional charge within and behind the painted image.
We are trying to paint our vision in the way others could experience it, too. That requires freedom in our approach, experimenting with colors and brush stroke, immediate decision-making, and high confidence level, as well.
The painting subject was very attractive this time, and we got really great results on our canvas.
It is important that we use the same basic image and the same medium (acrylic, watercolor or pastel) in a class since every medium requires different handling and specific techniques for bringing the painting subject to life.
Acrylic is actually very forgiving, and everything can be adjusted, changed and improved when necessary.
All artists were not present at the time of taking pictures, but all paintings looked fantastic. They are beginners! This is a great achievement.
We will just have to learn how to paint sky and water yet, and these students could surprise us with fantastic paintings which they have created without a guidance.
