Lesson 5 is continued for Saturday, July 27,  2013. Photos of our arrangements sent to you via email.  Right click on them to save as and print out for class. I will also have a few of the photos developed for you're temporary usage in class.
 Go to Our class site and sign up if you haven't already: Be sure to see some prelimenary work you started on Sunflowers posted in the second photo gallery at susansprigginthezoneapplevalleyoilpainters@meetup.com. . On July 27, 2013 We are also doing a critique of artists work if you would like to bring your first painting, or any previous work. Here are some photos of works in progress from a series of 3 classes on Van gogh. The paintings are shown in reverse class order. The first painting below is a painting in progress at the time of Wabash, Redlands of the San Bernardino, Mountains, after doing the third painting shown (same area) in a Van Gogh  approach. My reason for sharing Van Gogh with my students is to get them loosened up, experience colors, and play opposites against each other for striking results, also to buzz colors together and to be brave. The third painting is after Van gogh in the second stage of the class: painting a familiar scene of their choice. I added more fire to it to finish. Photo not available. The very first thing I hadthe classdo is reference Van Gogh and paint like him as exampled in the third painting.
San Bernardino Mountains painted by Susan Sprigg, completed after Van Gogh styled paintings of the same area pictured below.
