Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Just Looking" & workshop photos!

Home again! I know you're all dying to hear about my workshop in Texas, but first for the painting above. It's another one from NYC. This is a scene from the Hell's Kitchen flea market. This guy was totally baffled by what I was doing, and I took advantage of it.

And now for TX. So, I took a TON of photos, because it's a really beautiful place that I was teaching. This first batch are from around the place, inside and out. The food was awesome!

 

  

This next batch includes a few of my demos, students on a break, perfect grays, heart-y leaves, and a few of our furry companions.

 

 

This last batch is student work, because I've had a lot of requests to show it. Some are finished and some are in progress.  

 

 

And lastly, here are the people who made last week so special! Sure, they complained when I made them work hard (the stinkers!), but all-in-all, we had a total blast - lots of wine drinking and massive amounts of belly laughing. I hope to see you all again in a couple of years! : )

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Cloud River"

And now, for a total change of pace! I wish I could say I did this from life, but I actually borrowed the photo from my friend Bren. I treated it like an abstract though in that I decided I would do whatever I wanted, and it IS different, but it's still realistic. I really really hope to get out and do some real plein air this summer, but I'm also already really busy. Ugh.

I got several emails today about my "crabby new yorkers" comment yesterday. Just to clarify, I LOVED my time in NYC. And I had some surprisingly lovely conversations with random strangers. Honestly, the only negative moment was when the costumed people in Times Square demanded I give them a tip for a photo before I even took one. But whatever. All-in-all I loved the city and loved the people. I apologize for blindly repeating the stereotype!

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Disgruntled NYC"

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY     5/1/14
 "Disgruntled NYC" - 5x7in - click here to bid
 

I am learning that to get these tiny people to read like people, I must have more patience, and be willing to redo parts of them 4 or 5 times to get the scene right. I am also exercising more patience with the backgrounds. This is my favorite one yet! Don't they just read like crabby new yorkers?!
