I know, I just returned from days in Casper and here I am, enjoying another workshop with friends. Sponsored by the Washakie Museum, this one was with artist, Noelle Weimann. For this class, we used black canvas, blocked out areas of our canvas, and filled in our landscapes with color. Of course, I painted my…

En Polar Air
“En plein air” Used to describe painting outdoors. Easy enough. Find a scene. Gather your canvas and paints (and dog) and have a seat! About that “have a seat” part? Please notice the snow. In the shade. Under the rock. That should have given me the clue, that when I sat down on said rock,…
Hello, Sunshine
Working at the library doesn’t leave me much room for ranchlife… I did manage another pic for my watercolor Art Challenge… and a great sunrise…
Wordless Thursday – “Pic Four”
That would be an oops on the Wordless Wednesday tradition… Today… Picture #4.
Soldier On
Day Three of my “Let’s Create” Challenge: Vernon is in bed. I gather my watercolor palette, paper, brushes, and a small container of water. Sitting on my couch… I choose a photo to paint from my ipad collection. Today, it’s going to be my rooster, Spot. He’s actually nice, and photogenic! I’m trying to soften…
Mammoth Quick Draw
Oh, my goodness, I had such fun tonight! Tonight was Washakie Museum’s 4th Annual Mammoth Quick Draw Event. I’ve wanted to go before but it hadn’t worked out until this year. Thirty one artists either created an entire artwork (quick draw) or finished a started one (quick finish). Although I had to go by myself,…
Watercolor
I played today by attending a workshop at the Washakie Museum in Worland. Gayle Barnett was the presenter for a class on watercolor painting! I had never met her until today, though I have bought some of her cards before. Formerly of Meeteetse, Wyoming, she now works in the big city of Recluse! This was…
Guest Doodle
Today’s guest blogger, aged three, begins practice for my art doodle class. He seemed to be more interested in color than form. I may need to work on my early childhood teaching skills… Just a bit. Thanks, Wyatt. **** Any more questions for my Q&A session? Post them in the comment section!
Moonset Pastel
A few days ago, I posted this as a photo… This is my pastel version! Yes, the moon is so much bigger, but that’s the way the eyes see it, while the camera doesn’t capture it the same way. Oh, I’d give this a B- grade, but this is all learning… And these red…
Plein Air
The gift of pastel pencils has now turned into an obsession. I went ahead and bought regular pastels to speed up things… I’ve watched videos… I’ve glanced at some library books. The pastels arrived Thursday and I began Saturday night. I picked a photo from my ipad… Powder River Pass. Honestly… this is the first…
Attempts
The last two attempts… Pastel pencils… “Coming Through the Quakies” Charcoal… “The Crossing”
Tricky
This occupied my morning… Since I’m stuck with posting from my ipad tonight, I’m only going to share the end result. This is Mace, he’s Lucas’ half brother. I didn’t quite capture him… He needs width between his eyes, a blockier head, SOMETHING! But since this is my first attempt with pastel pencils, I’ll give…
