A Few Words from Jean
​(i.e., an occasional blog)

Every little bit counts

Home Game:
  • "Reborn", watercolour on paper, 14x11" , matted and framed - ready for the show at the Courthouse Gallery. Need to think about pricing...
  • I tried some sketchbook practice - a nice pen sketch of the evergreens with lake and mountains. This was from observation through a big window, about 20 minutes. 
  • Then, being inspired by the Opus Daily Practice ad, I painted it. Hmmm, I think I liked it better before. The sketchbook paper was hot pressed, so did not forgive my brush errors. I used a wet brush on the trees, when really they needed a dry brush technique to show the thin needles of trees trying to grow on rocks. Daily practice is a great idea to get my art brain working again. 
  • I registered for an oil painting class in late March (3 Fridays) with Yvonne Reddick, so I can learn the palette knife painting technique. I love going to workshops, especially if they are specific technique rather than abstract painting or 'just-express-your-creativity.' 
  • The new issue of Artists Magazine just arrived - yea! 
​Away Game:
  • "Watercolour for Serious Beginners" is approved and posted online and even has registrations already! 
  • Opus - Daily Practice has started their February challenge. I might have to learn to do Instagram to see how that works. Or is that just "finding another way not to paint", as my wonderful artist-friend Bev Maize used to tease me.

    Valley Visual Artists

    Merritt once had a local art group called "Valley Visual Artists." They painted together  regularly, organized annual art shows and hosted art workshops. It faded away, but never really disappeared. Maybe the VVA will rise again...
