New Art Lessons

I'm still teaching classes at Museo Art. I teach 2 days a week this semester, and have 2 classes each of those days. All my students are adults. I'm having a great time!
This is a new lesson for today's "Drawing Foundations" class - it's a graphite (pencil) drawing of a grape. The lesson is on creating smooth surfaces, shading and shadows.

This is a lesson for my "Mixed Media" class. It's a pen & ink drawing we started last week, and then we will mix in water soluable colored pencils and a bit of water at the end to turn the color to a 'painted' effect.


This is a watercolor painting lesson we did in my "Painting" class. I don't love it, but it was a good lesson, and the students enjoyed it, getting fairly decent results.

Now in the painting class, we have just started a cafe/street scene which we are doing on canvas board, beginning with watercolor (as seen here) and we will add acrylic paints as we develop the detail and add texture, interest and focal points. We're having fun with this one!

Tina, you are really developing your artistic teaching skills and I'm sure your students just love you. Everything looks so hard! I'm sure you're making it seem easy for them though. Good for you!
