Here is a painting I am currently working on. It is another picture of Fountain Park I took on the same day as my previous painting. This is the rough first layer of this painting (the toning layer). In a couple of days I will start adding color to it and of course refining it some more. I hope to have this painting complete by next Sunday.
I have been doing a lot of studying lately with the way the old masters used to paint. Learning about my mediums and how to use them properly, mixing colors, different painting techniques and different styles. This information was very thorough I figured out things I've done wrong with my previous paintings.
My painting class starts next week and I am so excited! It's going to be a great hands on experience (I Hope!). This instructor (Bill Perry) is coming up from Pittsburgh I have checked out his work and it is impressive. He also teaches watercolor actually most of his work is in watercolor. I almost tempted to take the watercolor course because at the time The Art Center changed the times of the classes and the watercolor classes were in the evening (I work during the day and I can not take the earlier class). The classes were switched around again and now I am able to take the oil painting class. Although, watercolor might have been fun to learn too. I might take a class if it becomes available again.
