http://fontaine-fineart.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

Http:/ www.fontainefineart.com. Saturday, May 18, 2013. Go Back To My Site. I got a bit sunburned and. Good start on a Longhorn painting Plein Air at the Butler Longhorn museum today. It was hot but fun . It will be finished in my studio. This is just the first layer of many. Check back to see my progress! My friends in CA are saying Longhorn—really? It's a Texas thing, and you've got to admit they are kind of cute. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). There was an error in this gadget. View my complete profile.

fontaine-fineart: Daily Painting

http://fontaine-fineart.blogspot.com/2014/05/daily-painting_11.html

Http:/ www.fontainefineart.com. Sunday, May 11, 2014. Go Back To My Site. Enjoyed a great workshop this past week with Carol Marine. Even though we worked small 6x6" or 8x8", getting a painting done in a day was a challenge. To give myself a break, it wasn't a whole day because Carol did a demo or 2 each day. We painted shoes, a still life, flowers, people and a wrapped package. Carol taught me to pay attention to value and to start over if the drawing wasn't quite right. I did that a lot.

fontaine-fineart: The Value of Value Studies

http://fontaine-fineart.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-value-of-value-studies.html

Http:/ www.fontainefineart.com. Sunday, May 24, 2015. The Value of Value Studies. Go Back To My Site. When I start a painting, I often do a value study. This is simply a monochromatic version of the painting which lets me know where the darks, mid tones and lights should go. I've found the value study greatly enhance the success of the painting. Value studies familiarize me with the subject matter, the drawing and often the contrast that results increases the depth in a painting. If you are new to value ...

fontaine-fineart: March 2014

http://fontaine-fineart.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Http:/ www.fontainefineart.com. Wednesday, March 19, 2014. Cuppa Jo Day 3. Go Back To My Site. This is what I did today on Cuppa Jo. The hands look better, but still need a tiny bit of work. I added a sign to the right site to bring some of the blue color to that side of the painting for color balance—it needs A bit more futzing. I added detail to the plant. I like the purple. What a surprise! Thursday, March 13, 2014. Go Back To My Site. Hopefully I will post the finished painting soon. Cuppa Jo Day 3.

fontaine-fineart: Abstract Painting

http://fontaine-fineart.blogspot.com/2014/02/abstract-painting.html

Http:/ www.fontainefineart.com. Monday, February 24, 2014. Go Back To My Site. I have been interested in experimenting with painting abstractly for some time. The textures and colors in a successful abstract piece can attract your attention and evoke and emotional response from the viewer. If you think it looks easy, think again. You need to follow the same principles of design that you would in any other successful art. I actually find it harder to paint abstract art than representational art.

fontaine-fineart: January 2014

http://fontaine-fineart.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

Http:/ www.fontainefineart.com. Wednesday, January 29, 2014. Go Back To My Site. For those of you who paint competitively and have painted down to the wire on your entries like I have, you may be interested in paint drying times. Here are more tips on getting oil paint to dry. Use a fast drying medium like Liquin while you paint (I personally don't use Liquin). Linseed oil dries faster than Walnut oil. Use fast drying titanium white. Paint oil over Acrylic.

fontaine-fineart: Cuppa Jo

http://fontaine-fineart.blogspot.com/2014/03/cuppa-jo.html

Http:/ www.fontainefineart.com. Thursday, March 13, 2014. Go Back To My Site. I shot this photo in Galveston and got a good start on the painting yesterday and today. The hands, face and perspective all need work. Consider it a work in progress. I have to let it dry before I go any further—I hate it when that happens. I should have several paintings going at once! Hopefully I will post the finished painting soon. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). There was an error in this gadget. Cuppa Jo Day 3.
