Jeanne Anderson Watercolors

The acrylics class finished their paintings this week (all but 2 who were absent). They were allowed any subject as long as it fit into a cruciform composition. I think they did a fantastic job and now we are going to make a do a group painting for our church building.

This week my acrylic (older) students finished their landscapes. I think they did a fantastic job, all of them!! In the younger kid class - Art of the Masters - we focused on Jim Dine's art and since it is almost Valentine's Day, we made heart art. They did a great job!

We are well into our "spring" semester and this is what I'm teaching: Fine Art Painting - Acrylics . Here is the mid way point in their first painting. They all brought in photos of their pet. We traced the photo using carbon paper and then focused on painting their values to complete the image. Art of the Masters - these happy (and active) 7-10 year olds have thus far painting like Monet and Jackson Pollack, well, almost. Middle School Art Attack - I renamed this class this semester, for obvious reasons. We just completed a large mural of Abraham Lincoln ( thanks to blogger Kathy Barbro http://artprojectsforkids.me/product/lincoln-mural/ ). I think it turned out great! Now to put it up on the wall. I am going to be taking an acrylic painting class for 4 weeks in February from Arizona artist Amy Whitehouse ( http://amywhitehousepaintings.blogspot.com/ ) Looking forward to learning more about art!! Happy painting!

I'm teaching Jr.& Sr. High homeschool students watercolor painting once a week. We had two weeks off due to Abi's school schedule so I had them do an assignment to duplicate a painting demonstration from a watercolor book. They ALL did a great job.

I abandoned the paintings I started for this and opted to submit two older watercolor paintings and an abstract acrylic painting that I had been working on.

Stay tuned. I will try again.
