October Demo - Robert Spooner The Wheat Ridge Art League was Honored to have an oil painting demo by Talented and Award Winning artist Robert Spooner. All members were truly Impressed with his PASSION for art and painting.
We were mesmerized as he conveyed his message to "have the Freedom of Expression from within yourself. Also Experiment, Create New each time, and Move Forward". "Make your work about Expression."
Robert sands down each layer of his oil painting and adds more color and texture on top of it, giving it so much depth and richness. His Speedy, Beautiful sketch of his horse was another reminder of the importance of good drawing skills. It was quite an Inspiration to watch and listen to such an Amazing Talent at work!

Robert Gray Watercolor Workshop
Oct 2019 The Wheat ridge Art League had a Wonderful Watercolor Workshop with artist Robert Gray. First thoughts are Fun, Fast and Loose! We picked up great tips along the way while having a Blast.Bob starts his shadows with blue, then warms it up by adding burnt sienna. This allows you to look into the shadows. Also jump around your painting rather than work in one area at a time. Learn to draw quickly, and watch and use negative spaces to improve accuracy. When drawing people , make their heads small and do not include feet. Painting with Quick , Loose strokes expresses spontaneity and action. Most of all bring your sense of humor, and "HAVE FUN"!

November Demo
Kathleen Lanzoni
The Wheat Ridge Art League had their last meeting of the year with "just another" Amazing Watercolor Demo!
Award Winning and local favorite artist , Kathleen Lanzoni painted a beautiful winter scene, perfect for the snowy weather to come.
She presented many helpful tips as well as a reminder that we need to focus on many things that we take for granted.
To work on values for it gives your subject form, to save the whites and do negative painting to achieve this, remember that subjects farther away have cooler color, lighter values, and softer edges,see the beautiful shapes of shadows, and mixing of colors rather than just using one...these were just a few of the gems we were able to take home with us.
We were truly Inspired by her Amazing Talent and expertise.
