11 x 14  5 x 7  contact artist to purchase Pat@Meyer.net If you have never purchased this type of cabbage rose you probably don't know how expensive they are per bloom.  This color is one of their move valued cabbage roses so that being the case you need to get your monies worth out of the model.  As we say at our house no one eats for free.  The first painting the 11 x 14 took about 8 hours to paint and the second painting the 5x 7 took about 4 hours to paint.  If you figure it up that is about the same amount of time per square inch of canvas.  Never really thought about it before. www.PatMeyer-artist.com Signature Member Artist of Texas, Oil Painters of America, American Impressionist Society, NOAPS, Southwest Artist

5 x 7 oil on linen panel contact artist to purchase $95 Pat@Meyer.net This 30 minute demo was to help artist see that you can capture an expression of the subject matter by just looking at what the subject is saying.  When sitting down to the easel I study the subject to seeing what it is telling  me.  Then I figure out placement, values, drawing etc.  Try setting a timer for 30 minutes and see what you can do in that short time. www.PatMeyer-artist.com Signature Member Artist of Texas, Oil Painters of America, American Impressionist Society, NOAPS, Southwest Artist

Demo for class to purchase contact Pat@Meyer.net One of the most common mistakes that beginning painters make is to include too many hard edges.  Maybe this is because we are often taught as children to “fill in all the colors”.   If you paint in this manner you are not seeing the world as an artist.  Sharp edges are compelling when combined with a polarity of values. In other words if you place a sharp edge where the light is very light and the dark is very dark you will certainly create and electrifying visual event in the painting.  But sharp edges must be kept to a minimum and used only with a clear pictorial purpose in mind.  A painting should be like a symphony with a crescendo.  Start off your painting by writing down a clear vision of where the hard edge will be placed and usually this is where you want to draw the viewers most attention.  Other areas can be broken color, softer edges and th...
