Mittens, Ribbons and Greenery
http://www.labergedesign.com

Painting mittens during the holiday season was one of our most enjoyable holiday projects. Who doesn’t love the look of a cute little mitten with charming details? Each painter in the class tried a unique approach while they worked through their paintings. Some felt that snowflakes were more appealing than ribbons as additional design elements their art pieces and others decided to add a little gold to their creations.

CLASS PAINTING ROOSTERS & CHICKENS
………………………………………………………………………
As many of you know, there is an ongoing class each Tuesday in my art studio. From 1:00pm-4:00pm on most Tuesdays fledgling and advanced artists are painting and and sharing events that are happening in their lives.
This week most of the students are painting roosters or a chicken. Determining the difference between a rooster and a chicken brings up some..ahem.. interesting conversation.
There are students who have first hand experience raising chickens. Their information is invaluable to those of us who are not farm savvy. We have discussed how many eggs can be expected from a chicken and what we can do with a surplus of eggs. We study how the comb is formed and how the feathers should be painted. There is discussion about the varieties of chickens and egg colors. Sharing our observations is as important as learning how to paint the details on our subject.

Each artist created roses that they plan to frame or they can use the scans of their paintings to make cards or note paper. We are planning to continue painting roses. During the next session we will study large pink and ruby roses. Happy painting!
