Carol Marine's Painting a Day

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY   11/26/16     Click Here to Bid - 6x6in. - "Martini Before Lunch?" (won't ship until December) Painting this (above) was an odd experience. When I was arranging the objects, I was really frustrated because I didn't think they looked all that great together. I decided to paint them anyway, because it was the end of the day and I was tired of arranging and re-arranging. And I ended up liking the painted version WAY better than the real life version! How can I make this happen again?  Click Here to Bid - 6x6in. - "Ambitious Pear" (won't ship until December)  I haven't painted much here in Germany. I thought I might get some good photos in Berlin, but the weather was mostly gray and dreary, and I wasn't feeling inspired. I had a few extra still lifes when I left home, so that's what I've been posting. I hope I remembered to throw the actual pears away before I left - otherwise I'll find them decomposing in my studio when I return! Click Here to Bid  - 6x6in. - "A Little Lie Down" (won't ship until December) These are the last paintings I will post while here in Germany. I'll be home on December 1st (unless the Lufthansa strike continues). -Carol Quick Links my blog my website my ArtBytes my books my Facebook page panel holders my New Beginnings blog my Cafe Press store my Pinterest page email me My Workshops October 17-21, '16: San Antonio, TX - register  - FULL w/ wait list May 11-20, '17: Provence, France! register here  - FULL w/ wait list   Also check out my ArtBytes (online tutorials), and instructional book, Daily Painting, available on Amazon:

Carol Marine's Painting a Day

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY   11/20/16     Hello again from Germany!   Click Here to Bid - 6x6in. - "Just One Shot" (won't ship until December) I've been meaning to do this for a while - paint an example of how value does all the work but color gets the credit. After painting this one above, I did this other version where all the colors are in the right family, but the values are mostly wrong. You can see how the colors are still interesting, but nothing holds together - the scene is only vaguely 3-dimensional. Honestly, I could have (and meant to) push it a lot further (make the values WAY wrong), but my brain pushed back against it. I will try again someday. Value is the number ONE thing I end up helping my students with. If you want your painting to look 3-D, you've got to get the values right. Click Here to Bid - 6x6in. - "Hangin' Mostly Out" (won't ship until December)  While we are here in Germany, we find ourselves needing to understand a lot of German. Duh. Since I don't know all the words (understatement of the year), I end up letting the German sort of wash over me, and trying to get the gist, looking up words when I'm lost. By the end of the day my brain is spilling out of my ears. I'm sleeping 10 hours at night and still exhausted by 8pm! We are here for one more week and then we begin the long journey home. 1 day in the train. 1 day in the plane. And one day in the car. Verrückt (crazy)! -Carol Quick Links my blog my website my ArtBytes my books my Facebook page panel holders my New Beginnings blog my Cafe Press store my Pinterest page email me My Workshops October 17-21, '16: San Antonio, TX - register  - FULL w/ wait list May 11-20, '17: Provence, France! register here  - FULL w/ wait list   Also check out my ArtBytes (online tutorials), and instructional book, Daily Painting, available on Amazon:
