September Make It Take It Oil Painting Workshop at Dundee Senior Center

Hi The Painting LAdy 1 here!!! We just completed our September Make It Take It Oil Painting Workshop here at The Dundee Senior Center, now I normally have anywhere from 4 - 10 students for this workshop.  But this month most of my regular students have been out and about traveling with family and friends!  Which believe me is a really good thing to be doing ,what with the beautiful weather we have had, but today,Monday, this was a good day to be indoors and paint!  I still had my workshop, but I had one student!  Which acutally was pretty wonderful!  We had such a good time painting together!  The day went by so fast for both of us! I had a wonderful little painting of an old fashion brick one room school house, that I found on the internet. The school house theme goes along with our kids going back to school, getting into that school routine, after school sports, music, art lessons, parents you know what I am talking about here! Well anyway my student and I had a wonderful one on one painting session thru out the day, I was able to give her my undivided attention thru out her painting.  Which is something that all art teachers should do from time to time!   My student told me later that she felt she really learned quite a bit today by having her art teacher all to herself!  Which made me feel like I made a difference with her and her artwork!  So art teachers out there, if you have to opportuntiy to have a smaller class or even to have one student for a session, by all means grab that opportunity!  You never know what a difference you may make in someones' life by just being there to encourage them along!  I have to get ready for another workshop for this month so take care and Happy Painting!!  Yours The Painting Lady 1

Make It TAke It Oil Painting Workshop from August 28th.

Hi everyone!!!
   Our monthly Make It Take It Oil Painting Workshop at The Painting Lady1 Art Studio went really, really ,
WELL!  I was  fortunate to be able to reproduce a painting From Tony and Friends Art Studio in St. Charles, Ill.  Tony graciously let me use his painting for our workshop!  I will definitely be using this painting in January for our monthly Make It Take It Workshop at The Dundee Senior Center!  It is a painting of a wine bottle, glass and grapes, which in January will go along with our New Years' Eve theme!  My students had fun with painitng, espically when it came time to do the wine label on the bottle!  Each students had a different approach to the label! That is a good thing to let your students do!!  Always be flexible and open to ideas they may have for THEIR paintings! In this case,rather than putting in little flowers along the edge of the label, one did a beautiful vine, the other did a vine with leaves and little red dots.  My third student got really creative and did all of the plus lettering on the lable to make it her own!  ALways remember to let your students have a say in how they do their paintings, you want to encourage them to think on their feet!  Because as a teacher you are not always going to be there to help them!  When they are working on their own you want them to go ahead and try new ways,to no be afraid to try!
