Profile

Where are you from?: Oregon, USA

What's your favorite medium (i.e. acrylics, watercolor, oils etc)?: pastels, watercolors, acrylics

How long have you been drawing or painting?: I'm returning to art after a long lay off

Tell us a bit about yourself:: Returned to painting in my mid-forties after a 25-year layoff as a workaholic. Tried pastels for the first time and loved them. Then 2-1/2 years ago, tried watercolors and love them too. In my early years I had painted in acrylic and oils and still do occasionally. I also like drawing in pencil.

I generally paint strong, bold subjects and focus on light and shadows as well as other good contrasts. I have eclectic taste in subjects and style but mostly love 'living' things and things with a lot of texture.

I teach art informally and love encouraging folks to get started as it's such a thrill to create. I sell my artworks on commission. And also teach folks how to use computers.

I checked the website. I found Davids’ instructions excellent. The CD would have been very useful and helped me to advance beyond the “trial and error” stage, gain a little bit self-assurance when painting different topics, be it skies or trees. His rocks and pebbles are of particular interest – because I end up with unidentified blobs. He has a brilliant approach.
I shot an Email to David who replied. Unfortunately the costs are prohibitive. It would come up to over A$88.--
That is a little bit too much for me to spend on a CD - a shame. I was so excited to get beyond the fumbling stage.

This painting was purchased by a collector from New Hope PA along with another larger painting I had done of a bridge that spans the Delaware River at Lambertville. Cheers- John

At 7:44am on August 20th, 2008, Lee said…: I'm going to create a folder on my page to put works in progress. I did one tonight that needs some help to make it have some kind of unity. I posted in pastels group, but I'll also create an album. I have more art photos to upload, but I'm worn out and can barely stay awake as it is. And tomorrow starts my busy work week. Suggestions, please?
