PAINT OUTDOORS WITH ME THIS SATURDAY

Painting outdoors is amazing. It’s a great way to enrich your life and make wonderful memories. And it’s even more fun when you do it with a group of friends or other artists.
     This Saturday I’ll teach my final outdoor workshop of the year, designed especially for beginners. Although experienced artists will definitely enjoy it too. I hope you can join us.
     The fee is just $20 per person, payable in advance. I’ve even prepared a quick-start guide that tells you what to bring, how to dress, and it even shows how to make a simple outdoor easel that’s free.
     So come join us! It’s this Saturday, November 5th, from 9 to noon. We’ll have perfect weather with temperatures in the 70’s. We’ll paint at a local park in Irvine, with convenient FREE PARKING, CLEAN RESTROOMS and of course INSPIRING SUBJECTS to paint. You might even win a free drawing for my demo painting, but you must be registered to win.

PLEIN AIR MINIATURE LANDSCAPE by TOM BROWN

CLICK HERE to bid or buy now. This is a 4x4 inch original oil painting.
     I enjoy creating these small field studies when I am out on location. I frequently choose to capture only the "essence" of a scene and ignore all the fussy details. This results in a semi-abstract representation of the subject which I feel is the real heart of it.
     Often as in this case I use only the palette knife, which makes bold decisive strokes and applies thick juicy strokes of luscious oil paints. This creates a very richly textured surface on the finished painting, and adds a lot of interest in its own right. It shows the hand of the artist in the finished work.
     This little jewel is an excellent example. It can be displayed on a small table easel, or framed in an eye-catching frame, or even "floated" on your wall without a frame.
     In any case this one is a delightful little piece that will bring a breath of fresh air into any room. Enjoy!
