Date / Time: TBA (usually mid-month). Library Subscribers will be notified with email zoom invite. Upcoming Zooms are also loaded in a new tab with Zoom link, date/time and description. Recorded Forums are usually uploaded later the same day.
GARDEN FOCUS The next several interactive Library Zoom sessions in Library will be like a class... as I work on a large oil painting, we will share the process and you get to ask questions about the uploaded tutorials at our monthly Zoom check in. The subject will be a garden art (plein air and studio art). You'll learn all there is to know about working with greens, trees, flowers, and sun/shado (a new icon will post in Library main icon menu).
1: BEGINNING. Inspiration, planning and design; plus how to do plein air studies.
2: PROCESS. Choosing strategic values and value groupings. Mixing color. Finding the 'right' color. Understanding garden techniques (texture, color theory, layers, etc)
3: FINISH. When is an artwork done? How to repaint if needed.
