Thank You To The Students!

The Children's lessons are over this session. They were a bit shorter that usual due to Spring Break and Easter falling on different weekends. The children learn many skills and are unafraid to use them. They are an inspiration to me and the adults that see their work. They will also be shown at the St. Albert Trade Show the beginning of April. Hidden Talent Fine Art School's mandate is to provide that " positive experience" so many of us didn't have when we were taking art in school!


On another note...Happy Birthday to Kealy and Kristin! Their mothers have gotten me into the 'Birthday Party Entertainment' business. We had a lovely party for Kealy with 9 of her friends and we painted beautiful watercolors to take home. Kealy's mom matted and framed them on the spot! If YOU are interested in having art lessons as an activity for your child's birthday, please email me!!

Inspiration

This Thurs. Afternoon I am posting photos from the last week. Students take their inspiration from each other, from their families and people around them. About half are painting landscape from mountains to exotic beaches, a few are painting people or animals, a few florals. The choice of subject isn't as important as the desire to do your best and learn from it. One student came in with a few favorite photos, but they were definitely reference photos and not enough compositionally to paint. Remember, every good painting has a center of interest and a defined way for the viewer to get there!
