"Evening at the Mansion"
This was my demonstration for the workshop, held on Kiawah Island, South Carolina. It is size 10" x 10". Based on my color study (see my post from 4/19/2013), this painting was pretty easy to do. Adding the collage made for exciting textures. I'm really tickled with the way that this painting turned out, and it sold at the workshop! Now, my intention is to do another rendition of this that is image size 22" x 30", which will be acrylic and collage or possibly all acrylic. I had such a good time with this group of 15 ladies, who meet each year in April on Kiawah Island. It's absolutely beautiful there! Lots of partying, painting, eating, and laughing! We all really connected!
I am the proud owner of this awesome painting! Karen you are the best teacher on design and color. You give 110%! Thanks for coming to Kiawah!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Beth. I have such fond memories of my time there, and am honored that my painting will be in the permanent collection of the Vanderhorst mansion.
DeleteThis is gorgeous :) I loved seeing how your process developed into the finished painting!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ruth! For someone who used to hate making value studies, I now can hardly start a painting without planning out my design. It really works for me!
