That's a Wrap! Instructional Painting Videos Coming Soon!


I’m a little late posting my monthly blog, but with good reason! I’m excited to announce that I’ve just completed filming a series of instructional painting lessons … 4 in oil and 4 in pastel. They'll be available as digital downloads, with the option of also being purchased as a DVD.





As we were wrapping up the filming, we also shot this brief video so I could describe this series in person:




Production should be completed later this summer.  If you’d like to receive notification of when they’re available, click here to go to a page that will prompt you to enter your email address. (Don’t worry, you’re not signing up for junk mail, just this notification.) 



The completed painting demos from the videos are shown below. You’ll notice I’ve painted the same image in oil and in pastel, which I thought would be helpful for those who work in both media and would be interested in viewing both courses. Each medium covers 4 topics: Color Temperature, Composition, Edges & Editing, and Color Harmony. (The demos below are shown in this order.)


 


I'm asked frequently if I have any videos available, so I'm excited to soon finally be able to say that I do! A special thank you to Adam Houston, owner of Bridge Creative (http://bridgecreative.com) in Atlanta, GA, for putting this all together, and Eric Parnell (http://www.thenwcollective.com) of Bend, OR, our videographer.

  1. Hi Barbara! I love your work and am inspired by it and your work ethic. I am at that stage where I am struggling with creating a 'work of art' or 'fine art' or 'a poetic landscape' that is my idea of what I'm seeing instead of just rendering the scene literally. Looking forward to your videos coming out! It's funny, I get ideas on what I might want to do with my work or have visions of what it might look like and then I see an artist already doing it! Doh! :) lol Thanks for all your work and efforts!
