The last assignment in my oil painting class was figure painting. I was a bit nervous to start since I had only started to oil paint a few weeks before. For the record, it does not quite look like the original photo but my instructor informed me that most artists never do
. Overall, I both love and hate the painting. I keep going back and forth but that means that there is something there.

In my oil painting class, I had to do a reproduction of a famous master’s painting. Because I have a love of color, I chose Van Gogh to work from. I was instantly attracted to the deep blues in the sky and the contrast within the fields. Hope you enjoy.

I do not paint and have not done it since the brand mural I did way back with my BF Kirsten. At the time, that was my first painting ever! This summer, I decided to take an oil painting class at Callanwolde to get me back into creating art again. Above is the first piece I did for the class…a still life of a red pepper. The piece was a lot of fun for me. I especially liked discovering that I do not need black to do the shadows of the cloth fabric. Who knew!!
