Cumulous Clouds

1 min read

As we drove west last night, the clouds to the north were spectacular. To understand what I am seeing, I like to paint it. Here is an opportunity to study light against dark and dark against light. Nothing does that better than clouds. This video is up now at www.ShowcaseArtCenter.com on the video class page (subscription $10/month for unlimited views of 415 choices). I use my special "chop stick-two brush-draw and soften" technique. Intrigued? Join us! Additional classes at Showcase this week:

Monday 1:30-3:30 PM Oil Paint bootcamp video and painting (paint supplied)
Tuesday and Wednesday morning 10:00 AM-noon for individual painting
Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon 1:30-3:30 PM for "Cumulous Clouds" step-by-step

If you have the time and desire, go scope out my redesigned personal art website www.colettepitcher.com. I would love to hear if any of the buttons don't work or anything could be improved. It is a great excercise to design a website and describe your art career and life to others. Much angst and struggle for someone who likes to look forward instead of backwards. It is a good retrospective project that still needs a lot more work. It is like setting up a gallery show of your entire production with much editing.
