Julie’s Iris was taught to a Sold-Out class at the 2010 Hoot Convention. Student paintings were spectacular.
Larger petals take a wee bit more time to paint but the results are stunning. Technique is ovals and push/pull. You will really enjoy watching this flower bloom before your eyes from the first petal on.
9 x 12 Burgundy Mi Tientes Paper.
Suitable for beginners in that there are a lot of repetative small areas to paint, this project is not as challenging as it may appear and the results are spectacular.
Taught at the Hoot convention in Columbus, OH in August 2010 to a sold out class, this has been a much requested packet. I can’t begin to tell you how impressed I was with the students in this class. It was a lot of fun.
10 pages, Full size Color photo, Full size line drawing, Oversized color placement diagram and 16 stage photos which show the painting progress.
Painted with Prismacolor Wax based colored pencils.

When I taught the Peeled Tangerine at the Hoot convention in Columbus, OH. in August, the class filled up almost immediately, leaving many of you disappointed. So I am repeating it in Dayton for the Dagso Chapter on Saturday, October 10, 2009. This is painted on a 9 x 12 Tobacco Mi Tientes paper but frames beautifully in a 11 x 14 frame.
You will be responsible for providing all of your supplies. A supply list is here on the Dagso Website.
I use a projector to teach so every seat is a good seat. The Pot Luck lunches are just wonderful. 🙂
Contact Cindy if you are driving in and need hotel information. Contact me if you have any questions. I look forward to seeing you there.
Teapot Pansies. A 9 x 12 colored pencil E-packet on Black Mi Tientes paper. This is a larger project for intermediate to advanced painters.
18 images plus one large size image and a link to a zoom photo in the packet.
Alise Duerr taught my Yellow Day Lily class to the Treasure Coast Decorative Painters chapter in Port St. Lucie, Florida in March 2009. She very kindly sent a class photo. View it on the website. I also made a zoom photo and it’s nice to see smiling faces and great paintings.
New epacket on Teapot Pansies shortly in the shopping cart. 🙂
A student asked why I used violet to control the yellow. Good question, so let’s explore the possibilities of controlling yellow.
Choices: We can use Black, White, an Earth color, a Neighbor, or the Complement. There are other choices but these are the BASIC ones.
Experiment with the methods above and don’t discount the warm greys – depending on the final result you desire. Doing is the best way to learn color control.
Still working on the tabletop but had to take a break. My fingers never ache as I have a very light touch but my shoulder freezes. 🙂
This was taken directly from a photograph and I can see I need to tweak the design a little bit here and there. It was a lot of fun. I am pleased with the light values I was able to achieve on the dark paper. This will be an advanced seminar – although technique is the same. The definition is the speed at which it is taught and the amount of help. I prefer to walk around the class instead of showing petal by petal.
I am trying to decide if I want to dissolve the tabletop or just persevere until it is the way I want it. Decisions, decisions.
