Wet into wet painting techniques and the results!
The first class ever using the wet into wet oil painting technique was March 21 at the Vance Granville Community College! Under the category of Personal Enrichment,
The 5 intrepid painters created some amazing art.
I brought along my assistant-10 year old Alex who embraced the Bob Ross techniques last year by recording hours of video after his mother took away his Electronic time-what a great move by mom! And then he began to paint!
Children will naturally turn to creativity when the TV, electronic games and cell phones are removed-all to everyone's benefit!
From 12-5, the class stayed in the art zone and we had a great time! We practice wet into wet with acrylics as well but you have to paint faster. It was easy to take a snack break in the middle of the workshop as oil will not dry for days.
I'll let the photos do the talking!
This class introduced the use of a palette knife, letting wet paint blend into wet to create particular effects...and of course the sky is the limit when it comes to taking what they have learned and use the same techniques on a myriad of subjects!
Next similar class is April 17 from 12-5.
