Hell-o Everyone!!
I am posting our July Make It Take It Oil Painting Project for The Painting Lady 1 Art Studio on Saturday, July 30,2011 from 10AM to 4PM. The Painting Lady 1 Art Studio is located at 804 Roundabout Court in West Dundee, Ill 60118 lower level of the Lowery Music Studio and Art Building. Our painting project for this month is a painting I had done a few years ago with my old art teacher, Joan Darflinger, at her art studio, Darflinger Art Studio in St. Charles, Ill. Then it was titled Misty Island, I believe that Joan had done a painting workshop with Buck Paulson, who had originaly done this painting. Buck graciously encouraged Joan to do it in one of her workshops! I have tried for a year or two to do this painting again on my own, but no luck!!! Things just did not click at all! Then I decided to try it for my July Make It Take It Oil Painting Workshop and Viola!!! Everything just came together!!! Just Love that when that happens! So I am posting the painting here for you to view, I hope that you will be able to come to our July workshop to have a fun day of painting with your fellow artists! Again our workshop will be on Saturday, July 30, 2011 from 10AM to 4PM, cost is $40.00,which includes all art supplies and instruction. Wear OLD comfortable painting clothes, bring lunch/drinks for the day and a roll of paper towels! The Painting LAdy 1 Art Studio is also listed on Facebook and at Triblocal.com so you can take a look there to see what is happening at The Painting LAdy 1 Art Studio!!
See You Soon! Deborah A. Weaver, The Painting Lady 1.

Wet on Wet Technique
Hi Deborah A. Weaver here from The Painting Lady 1 Art Studio!! As some of you already know I am an Alexander Art Certified Teacher with the Alexander Art Company, you know the the "Fire It In Artist on PBS TV! I am sure you have all watched Bill Alexander at one time or another working on a painting and telling you to "Fire It In!" When Bill would start a painting he would use one of his products called Magic White and cover the canvas with the painting product, which allows the artist to work wet-on -wet and also to mix the paints right on the canvas! The artist would have a beautiful soft painting when they finished, plus if the artist wanted to make changes a bit later on, he/she could do so because the cavas would still be wet it enough to rework and make corrections! This is the basic wet-on-wet oil painting technique that I teach at my art studio. What you may or may not know is that Alexander Art also carries another product called Magic Clear, which is exactly that a clear wet medium that you put on the canvas, just like the Magic White, but with Magic Clear, the artist has to mix their own colors on their palette, also the Magic Clear keeps the color truer and sharper! Which is what I just Love about using the Magic Clear! I almost always use The Magic Clear in all of my paintings and all of my painting workshops! I feel that this encourages my art students to be more adventuresome with their colors and their subject ! So if you want to try the Alexander Art Wet On Wet Oil Painting Technique, I recomend you go to The Alexander Art Site, take a look around, I know they carry the Paints, Brushes, Art supplies and I believe they also now DVD's of Bill Alexander and his painting shows on PBS for you to watch and learn how to paint The Alexander Way! So Take look and as Bill used to Go Ahead and "Fire It In!!!

Art Students from The Painting LAdy 1 Art Studio with their January paintings!!!
Hi Everyone!!!
The Painting Lady 1 Art Studio here with our January 2011, Make It Take It Oil Painting
Workshop! Here are a some of our Art Students taking part in our Workshop Saturday January 15th from 10AM to about 4 or 5 PM when we finished our paintings! I am still learning to use my new digital camera! So bear with me here! At some times thru out our class I will stop and snap a shot of what our art students are working on ,so they can see for themselves how they are progressing thru out the workshop! As you can see I have art students in various stages of painting on their artwork! This was a small but a fun group to work with! I try to keep class size to 10 students, I feel that with this size class I can work with each art student on a one to one basis! So they can get the personal attention they need to complete their paintings! This particular painting was orginally completed by Tony Carrnicchi Atist/Owner of Tony and Friends Art Studio in St. Charles, Ill. I had always wanted to do this painting and when looking for a theme to go along with our January Workshop I asked Tony if I could use his painting? He gracioiusly loaned me the painting for our Workshop and we had fun time working on this painting!!! I will be posting our February 2011 Make It Take It Oil Painting Project and dates within a week or so, so please keep an eye out for our next Make It Take It Oil Painting Workshop at The Painting LAdy 1 Art Studio at 804 Roundabout Court in West Dundee, Ill 60118. In the Lowery Music Studio and Art Building, lower level! See You Soon!
