In this workshop we will be focusing on the fundamentals of still life painting, in a small format, using oil (acrylic or gouache also ok). My teaching philosophy is: say it, show it, and then you try it; repeat. Towards that end I'll be demoing daily and talking about how and why I do what I do, and then helping as you paint. We will do fun exercises that include ten-minute-apples and "one stroke" paintings. These will help you jump-start a potential daily practice (a great way to improve!) and take a step away from fussy, lifeless paintings. If you want to paint poems rather than dissertations, this workshop is for you!
Artist Bio
“I grew up in a small town in Texas, in a dome house, with three siblings, four cats, goats, chickens, prickly pear cactus and fire ants. My parents encouraged us to do what we love. They said, “You may never be rich, but you’ll be happy.”
I attended the University of Texas in Austin with the intention of studying art. Unfortunately, my professors were so focused on the concept behind the art that they never thought to teach us how to draw/paint/you name it.
Apparently, I learned a bit on my own through trial and error, because eventually I got into my favorite gallery in Austin, Texas. Unfortunately, I never earned what could be considered a living (even when I was in seven galleries!). A couple of years later, David and I adopted our son, Jacob. I didn’t paint much after that, until he was 1½ and a friend sent me an article about daily painting.
The idea was to do one small painting each day, post it on my blog, and sell it in auction. I started painting during Jacob’s naps, and quickly fell in love with the process! I slowly built up a following and started selling my daily paintings. I was finally making a living with my art! After about 6 months I got my first invitation to teach, then my second, and soon had sold-out workshops all over the US and Canada.
In 2006 my husband and I started a small online gallery (Daily Paintworks) featuring 12 daily painters, but after he lost his job in 2008, David decided to make it something more artists could benefit from. Now we have quite a few more artists, host our own auctions, tutorials, weekly challenges, monthly contest and more.
I have created several books – collections of 100 of my favorite daily paintings each. I also just wrote a book for Random House called Daily Painting: Paint Small and Often To Become a More Creative, Productive, and Successful Artist that can be ordered through Amazon. I also have a collection of ArtBytes (online tutorials) for purchase (some are free – check them out).”
