el venado

Title: El Venado

Size: 11x14

Medium: Mixed

Sold

This painting started as a demonstration on techniques and quickly turned into a "healing" piece. I would add color that unintentionally would be covered. There came a point of letting go, of allowing the symbolism and the grey colors to take over. Latinos will likely understand the symbolism, though this type of work does not have to be understood except by the person healed. Ironically, a gentleman came by the studio and was drawn to the painting. He said he had to have it and I have to let it go.

Mixed Water Media

My Wednesday night class offers drawing, color theory, and the elements of design. The students study the anatomy of the face and figure to achieve likeness. Color theory to understand mixing verses glazing, color temperatures, and how to get away from the so called "flesh tones." Next comes composition, it's principles and design. Demonstrations, lectures, journal keeping, and lots of student teacher interaction is all part of the class. This is an on going class with limited seating.
