Drawing Faces

We're learning how to draw faces using proportional guidelines this Thurs at 10am for our next START class at Artful Endeavors. It's so much fun to draw faces and knowing proportions is a valuable tool for proofing patterns with faces.

Or, you can take the expanded version of this class on Creative Workshops on line and even take advantage of our year end special with $10 off all my classes. You'll get your discount when you check out. And you have 24/7 access to the class. You can view it in as short a segment as you would like and go back to it when you like.

Check out my other classes on Creative Workshops including my side loading video and get the $10 off too. This offer lasts till the end of the year.

Hope you are painting with me soon, on line or in the studio.

Holiday Painting at Artful Endeavors

Every year we start planning our holiday painting during the summer and this year was no exception. We started our Santas and elves in Sept, however, when these paintings were complete we found more holiday projects that we just had to paint before the end of the year.

And just in time for these paintings we discovered DecoArt's new Glamour Dust Paints. Exciting! And we've been using these with thrilling results and looking for more opportunities to use them.

We've added more fun classes to our Dec. schedule and plan to have more painting done for the holidays. Be sure to check out the schedule updates on the class schedule tab above.

Color Harmony

The second weekend in Oct I went to the mountains searching for fall colors and found a hint of change. This week the fall colors found me right here at home. This week the trees around the studio and at our yard at home are putting on quite a show and promise more glory next week. With my trusty camera I wandered around the studio, collecting a few glimpses of the wonderful colors.

Fall is painting our trees a wonderful analogous color harmony with touches of green complement.

Palmetto Painters

I have just returned from a fun weekend of teaching for the Palmetto Painters in West Columbia SC. We had lots of painting to complete since we painted my sailboat in the window but the ladies were terrific. We got through all the techniques and most have completed the painting. A wonderful group of women.

Liz, thank you for the wonderful 2 day seminar you put on for our chapter, Palmetto Painters, in Columbia, SC. You showed us a lot about some new products out there and also some good techniques to improve our paintings. We will be sure to invite you back soon. Carol

It was sooooo much fun working with the stucco and the crackle and the other textures. Thanks for a great workshop. I hope to get to Raleigh to paint with you sometime. Pam
