Workshop10

11x14 Oil on Canvas. My first time ever doing anything like this. I need help painting rocks. I have been painting off and on for 3 years...never ever took art classes as a kid. The Gamut tool was interesting but I still made some mud and got my value pots running together. I loved this exercise because it got me painting again. Thank you Richard

Comment by Barbara Marks on June 27, 2012 at 14:57: Nancy, Thanks so much for your comments. I 'm always up for a challenge and look forward to the next one.

Comment by Nancy Sands on June 26, 2012 at 14:48: Really strong composition Barbara. The gamut mask was a challenge, and you really did a great job of maintaining that color harmony.

Comment by Stuart J. Gourlay on June 24, 2012 at 10:28: Barbara, the artist who just released the rocks course is a fabulous teacher and lives reasonably close to you in Hamilton, Ontario. Do check out his website; you will not be disappointed. I am not sure that I have mastered rocks yet, but thank you for the compliment. Stu

Comment by Barbara Marks on June 24, 2012 at 9:15: Stu, Thanks for the comments and the info on painting rocks. Your painting is wonderful. You seemed to have mastered rocks! I will get there too!

Comment by Riya on June 23, 2012 at 18:38: Same with me, and I've learned so much from this workshop. I like your painting, especially your aerial perspective is great. Nice work, well done!!

Comment by Stuart J. Gourlay on June 23, 2012 at 15:27: Barbara, nice work with the gamut mask; you kept well within the confines of the mask. If you really want to learn to paint rocks, great downloadable 6 hr video course was just released this week by Johannes Vloothuis. Go to www.improvemypaintings.com and click on "Buy Recorded Classes" and scroll all the way down to the bottom course. Stu
