This is from Robert Genn: "...There's a wide range of reasons for blockage. One of the most frequent is the buildup of bad habits in basic techniques learned in lesser workshops or from hit-and-miss self-teaching. Another source of blockage is what we call "Educosis," that is, too much theoretical knowledge with very little actual easel-time. These folks often hate what they do and abandon early. Still others have issues of self-esteem, self-loathing, imposter syndrome and guilt..." THAT'S…

Hi Everyone! Iast year I came up with this idea to have a three hour paint challenge for my art club. It was a great success. I got my painting done in 1 hr and 35 minutes and sold it immediately for $ 35. I know, that's not a lot but it sure was fun and I wouldn't ever turn down money.
So this year I am heading up a three hour portrait painting challenge. Boy I…

"Waimea Canyon" 16x20" Oil on Canvas by Richard Robinson

"Lawaii Beach" Oil on Board by Richard Robinson
A great day today painting at this wonderful spot in Hawaii with Eileen and Karen. This scene is another good example of having great elements in a landscape which need to be tweaked to bring out their best. In this case I moved a cliff, the sun and added a lot of sea-spray and…

Well I began painting the cliffs & was off to what I thought a good start..I was actually very pleased with how it was going! Then.....well, I kept watching the workshop video & tried to incorporate the information..I wound up with cliffs that looked like California instead of Massachussetts!!

..I wasworried about…

Setting the stage and putting the hero on it is an approach to painting that works well for some subjects, but not for all. It is particularly suited for paintings where the main subject dominates the foreground as the background is established first and then the subject is added.
The above painting, a demonstration…

Hi folks..just working out some thoughts on two possible paintings..the ne is for the August workshop & the other for a painting I'm thinking of doing as a thank you gift for my hosts on vacation -- it's the view from their back porch of the Nantucket Sound..actually, either one of these paintings will wind up being the thank you gift I think, so I'm eager to do a really good job!
these are the Notans of both with the original photos as well..I'd love to hear any thoughts on how…
