12" x 9" oil painting by Niki Gulley Day 2:   TUSCANY ART TREK - Montepulciano Plein Air Painting and Photography Workshop with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams On the second day of our Tuscany Art Trek, we set up our easels at a scenic overlook in Montepulciano while the photographers went exploring. The view of the valley below is gorgeous with miles of olive groves and vineyards stretching to the horizon. I chose to paint the blue-domed duomo below set amid the rolling hills and perfectly planted rows about to be harvested. In the afternoon, we visited two wineries and sampled some amazing red wines and the region's prized Vin Santo. Another fantastic day in Tuscany!

Lesson Two Seven Elements of ART SHAPE ( We have done Line and this week we are doing Shape.) When contemplating shapes and all the many times I have taught shape to younger students, it consisted of drawings of three shapes and creating a composition with it.   For the example I chose a rectangle, a circle and a triangle.  You can see there are endless combinations for those three objects, but the key is training your eye for composition and what really works with balance to the eye.  There are also other factors, is the surface a square, a rectangle horizontal or vertical? Going a little bit further sharing some ideas that are more fun, and maybe this week I would have time to explore it too... is the idea of creating a mandala.  Originally Hinduism/Buddism, Mandalas have come down through the centuries as part of our art, with many parts filtering into all faiths.    Painted 17th Century Tibetan "Five Deity Mandala ...

Warm Glads and Sunflowers by Nancy Medina 16X20 Oil on Archival Panel Purchase Information Class Demonstration Flower Painting Workshops My Web Site Follow Me on Facebook Sign Up for My Art Newsletter!
