Second Light


Second Light___6x6 oil study___$150 (see side by side with yesterday's FIRST light)
This was painted IMMEDIATELY after the Red Rubber Ball I posted yesterday. These were a workshop lesson on Capturing Impressions Quickly...I demonstrated on a small scale, so that I could work even faster! The main lesson here was the RADIANT nature of both light and shadow...if you took the workshop, did you remember that???...I cannot wait to develop these lessons further in upcoming workshops!...

Here are some locations for a few of my workshops. email me if you want more info on any of these...
And here is a link to a SPECIAL ONE.
I can't wait to see the water go down the drain BACKWARDS there!

Red Rubber Ball

Red Rubber Ball___6x6 oil study___$150
Our summer mornings are bright, cool and colorful this time of year. When the sun just breaks, it reminds me of the lyrics to an old song! Here is one sunrise from last week's workshop at Brushy Creek Lake. Colors change FAST at sunrise, a real challenge for the artist, but one trick is to learn to see them all at once, rather than just one at a time!
Upcoming workshops are listed below.... email me if you want more info on any of these...
and here is a link to a SPECIAL ONE that I am so excited I can barely think about!!!

Anneke's Sunrise

Anneke's Sunrise___6x6 oil demo___sold
Here is another sunrise from the same location! The snake story took place on the other side of those trees ....You might be figuring out what the theme of my workshop was last week!
Not just "sunrises" but learning to "see" and capture an impression QUICKLY....After a few years of painting our last year on the farm and other passing rural places, I have learned a few tricks that I teach in my workshops...next one is in Salado, Texas for one day in September. email me if you are interested! vvaughan8@yahoo.com
