Art Classes

How many of you have taken Art Classes? I have traveled to Scottsdale Artists School  which was a very expensive class with floral painter Joanna Arnett. My daughter ,Lois Engberg ( Lois Engberg Fine Art) and I enjoyed the class very much.  We always learn something from each new class we take. When you are looking for an Art Class start by choosing an artist/instructor whose work you admire. Lois and I have also studied with David Leffel whose work we admired very much. He didn' let us down as an instructor .He made sure every student got the one on one attention they needed. We paint in the Alla-Prima  method of  painting wet-in-wet. We use Maroger medium  to obtain the deep rich tones of the Old Masters Paintings.  When painting  the  classical  traditional style  you are placing the visual truth of what is in front of you onto the canvas. Antiques, oriental rugs . brass, blue and white porcelain and flowers are some of the  items that always find their way onto our canvas. We grow most of the flowers we use and always work from a fresh set-up.We are now teaching classes at my studio workshop in Salisbury, Maryland. For more info  email me at bbeauart@gmail.com we would love to have you in a class or workshop!!! Keep painting!

Chiaroscuro

I am a light and shadow painter. Bringing objects in my stillife set-up out of the mystery of the shadow  becoming brighter and brighter until they burst into the full intensity of the light;.getting the most 3-D effect possible.  That is what painting CHIAROSCURO is all about!  If you are interested in oil painting classes contact me through e-mail  bbeauart@comcast.net  Keep painting , Palette Talk
