It was a great demo. I love watching other artists paint, and I often learn a lot. In this case Gene filled in a few of my many blanks, and I've been working differently - and better - since the demo. It was held at the U. of O. bookstore, was free and gave everyone a 20% supplies discount. How good is that? Judy

Hi Judy!
Very nice landscape work by Costanza. Thanks for sharing the link. I've never done landscape. How was the demo for you?

Hi Jala,

Yes, very indirect! I am really interested in learning to paint alla prima but can't seem to abandon my indirect ways. I'm wanting to make the shift but am kind of stuck. I'm going to a demo today by Gene Costanza that I hope will give me a clue. He's a wonderful landscape painter. Check him out.

Hi Judy,
Thanks for your web visit and email. Funny that you noticed that I had also done Chinese Lanterns. You asked why I don't do that style anymore...it's because that's what I learned in art school, the indirect painting method (layers, where each layer dries for a week or so). As soon as I discovered alla prima, it's all I've wanted to do. Perhaps sometime I'll go back and do the indirect method again, but not for now. Yours look like this (indirect) method; are they?
Cheers!

Thanks, Joanne. I enjoy painting Chinese lanterns ...

Thanks, Joanne. I enjoy painting Chinese lanterns so much that I have decided to plant some in my garden this year. I also love using vintage items as props. My husband and I have an online vintage costume jewelry business, so we spend a lot of time in antique shops. He's always looking for jewelry, and I'm always on the lookout for vintage props. By the way, you thistle is lovely! Best, Judy

I love the beauty of these delicate papery seedpods! The orange of the Chinese Lanterns and the green of the vase are so beautiful together! You've captured the vintage color so well - it reminds me of my grandmother's set of dishes! Beautiful painting!

Thank you so much. There is hardly anything more tantalizing to paint than Chinese Lanterns!

Beautiful art work.
