Studio Class – Bob Ross Mountain
I taught my student last night how to paint mountains in the great Bob Ross’ style. We have learned techniques such as “happy clouds” and to “beat the devil out” of brushes. On a serious note though his brush loading, pallet knife, and blending techniques are pretty ace.

CDA Butterfly Painting

This group was super fun and enthusiastic! It was a very hot day so it was kind of the Hamburger Factory in Poway to let our awesome group of painters create some artwork in their cool restaurant.

Birthday Paint Party at the Park
I had a pleasant time instructing Elena’s group of ladies for her birthday at the park. They all did well in creating their sunrise paintings and I love seeing the different ways the same painting is interpreted by different painters. ☀️
Painting at the Park – Summer
I had a nice time painting with this group at the park. It was really hot, but the canopies helped a lot. I enjoy how we can all paint the same thing and they all come out distinctly different.

I enjoyed painting with some of my summer art students today and we created a Sun Flower. We never have down time when we have class.
