Tomorrow I am teaching a workshop so I won't be posting again until Sunday.

I'm still doing small paintings of flowers and have gotten hooked to them. They are very challenging in that I wish to keep the loose abstract quality to them but give them enough refinement to make them recognisable. I don't want to do traditional floral painting. There are so many traditional floral painters in the world. They don't need me jumping on their wagon too. I am after the essence of the shapes and rich colors that florals give us.

I have some new art camps and workshops lined up.Linda Blondheim Art Studio Workshops

Painters Tip

Doodle a bit.

Before you start to paint, get out a scrap of cardboard or heavy paper and fool around with paint for awhile. It will loosen you up and get you in focus, taking your mind off life and problems before you begin to paint seriously. Spend this doodle time working on basic shapes of your subject, linear perspective, spacial relationships and negative space.

When you are ready to tackle your serious work, you will have an arsenal of knowledge to start the working session.
