Dogwoods

Wanted to paint our dogwood trees for years. It won't be long before its too late because the heat is making them wilt fast. This little study was fun.

Beautiful! I find it calming, yet bright and alive [if that's possible]

Charming composition, Robin, and the background and vase colors really make those white dogwood blossoms glow.

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.
