Day 3 - Painting an Abstract is Hard!!!

Day 3 - An Abstract Horse?

Do You Plan An Abstract or Do You Let It Happen?

I haven't painted many abstracts,
so I don't know the answer.

But,

In this case, we planned, 
but then, we let it happen.

My art camper likes sunsets
so she painted a sunset as the background for her horse.

She's working on her horse.
I think she found painting an abstract horse 
to be much more difficult that she thought it would be.
 
 
 
In any painting,
you need to have some idea where you are heading.
Even if you don't know exactly where you want to end,
you have to think about where you're going.
 
One thing Jocie Kate learned was it was very tiring.
She was exhausted when she had finished her horse.
 
We only have one more day for this session of art camp,
and I can't wait for you to see what we created on our final day. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Click HERE if you have a teen who would be interested in teen art camp.
August 7-10, 10 a.m. - noon.
Your teen will learn about drawing cartoons,
creating an art journal, painting a still life, and creating a t-shirt and much more.
This is the last chance before school starts to get in that last bit of creative fun.
 
If you want to learn to paint, but don't know where to start, I have just the course for you.
I have created an online painting course,
with 11 modules that teach basic art concepts,
such as: 
1.  Mixing color and creating a color wheel
 and color chart and how to use them,
2.  What brushes to buy and how to use them,
3.  All about paint, and what to buy,
4. What to paint on,
5.  What is composition
6.  Learning about perspective
7.  Different types of strokes
 to achieve different looks 
8.  Creating form
9.  How to practice
10.  Step by step directions to paint a rooster
11.  Step by step directions to paint flowers

It's all in one neat package.
Click HERE to take a peek.

Are there bonuses you ask?
Three bonuses!
1 is a shopping list of all the supplies you need in the entire course.
1 is a whole nother painting module on painting trees and rocks, (which could sell for $49.99 on it's own).
1 bonus is all sorts of random art info, such as where to buy supplies online, where to buy frames, sites for free photographs to use as reference, and tons more.

No more looking for books or videos to learn this or that and still not know how to put it together.

This course was created for beginning painters
and home school families.

Go HERE to take a look!

Have a great day,
and thanks for stopping by.

  1. I agree it is hard but not as hard as non representational painting.
    I enjoyed the video and could see she had a great drawing to start off with.
    You are a wonderful teacher, Sharon.

  2. Thanks so much Julie. We had a great time this week. I think she did do a great job on her drawing too. She's a really creative kiddo and I so enjoyed working with her.
