Southern Painter: A HOT WEEK IN NASHVILLE

A HOT WEEK IN NASHVILLE

paintings from a recent workshop near Franklin and Nashville Tn. I call these "flying by the seat of my pants" style. Painting on location is a struggle and a rush at the same time. You can easlily see a wide range of success in these - some ok, some not so ok.

The fresh, looseness of the style shines through in all of them. In my opinion, you may call each of them a success. I'm glad you shared them.

These pieces are a delight to see, Robin--well done! I admire your fresh, bold approach. There is much for me to learn here, as all my work is in the studio. I should push myself to try quick studies on location, too.

Schedule a Workshop for your group

Painting Your Vision Workshop No matter what level is current in your oil painting, its time to step up to the next level. This workshop is designed to add interest in texture and design, emphasize brushwork and edges, and explore new additions to paint techniques. We do this by using traditional methods of direct or alla prima painting, which simply means all we can accomplish in a session using rich paint to make sophisticated edges. We will explore different surfaces that affect the look of an oil painting. And we will use a simple color mixing exercise to give confidence in value and mixing the color you need. Bring your references or use my photos. Demonstrations will give suggestions to add something new to your oil paintings and painting time to bring it all together.
