Anya and those those who didn't watch - Nolan had to cope with a site crash and a medical emergency at home Dennis took his wife to hospital
Post by: Leana on February 24, 2012, 11:03:25 AM
I didn't know about Nolan's wife being ill, shame man that is really terrible news. I truly wish for her to get better soon and recouperate completely. :flowers: Poor Nolan, and to have a crashed site at the same time. Nolan here is a :1hug: for you. Thinking of you and your family, please let us know how your wife is doing. I agree with Karen, I think we are all concerned. You are all after all 'family'. ;)

Ditto from me! Karen, you have such a great way with words.
I regret I had to miss the wood painting class. Karen, you gave me a nice sneak peek. :thankyou: Nice work!
Amazing to think Nolan soldiered on through the class without Dennis to do the camera work and he sure must have been stressed over his wife's condition.
Here's my hug, Nolan :1hug:
:pray: your wife has a speedy and complete recovery.

Usually wood forms part of the background in a still life and is not painted in such detail, but you need to know how to achieve the detail first. That way you can easily suggest the detail by using the correct techniques, just to lesser degree. Hope that made sense?

I think I might have put the nails at wrong place. I really enjoyed this lesson. It doesn't quite look like wood, only when I took all the mask tape off, and wend off for a cup of tea, then when I came back suddenly I felt it does look like a wood surface! Thanks Nolan!

In fact, when I paint the classes and really follow Nolan step by step, I don't put my signature on it since the painting isn't really 'mine'.
There are some copyright restrictions on paintings you make, following the classes, and when I don't change anything in the painting, something that makes it really different, than I don't sign it; just to be on the safe side.
According to Dutch law, I could sign them as: Paintbasket/ Germa

On a stretched canvas, I like to paint the edges as if they are a part of the picture I paint.
But maybe Nolan is right and is it a very popular thing at this moment and maybe I am just an old fashioned old lady who sticks to traditional work too much. ;) :2funny:
Post by: V on November 30, 2013, 02:26:11 PM
Funny thing at the time, I thought I was in the wrong class. I have never painted before so I felt lost because everyone is doing their own thing and I just wanted to learn to paint and at the end I was even more confused ;D .
Oh there is these little gadget where you can tack on the back and voila, instantly you can hang the canvas board without framing them. Or tack 2 on the wall and then rest the bottom painting between these hooks.

Not a fast learner but more like Excellent Teachers! All credits go to Dennis and Nolan. Lets Draw class really was my foundation and it was only 4 weeks not years. All the questions answered and I came out not confused! More like excited because I can try to explain, to myself. ;D After the course, it made me see things differently and more curious :nosey: why it looks like that. Then flashbacks to what they explained. So I get more information as I get my eye to 'see'. Then add the color mixing class and Voila! Of course, you have to put time for practice. Like, I did the color wheel Dennis taught and practice color mixings. I tried to get all shades of a color ;D (OCD).
And here we are :painting: .
:thankyou: Dennis and Nolan!

I wonder if the jelly beans won't stand up off the wood even more if you darken the shadows they cast on the wood even more? Especially the green and to a lesser degree the orange ones

So nice to see you popping in. I was hoping you would see all my recent oils and WC paintings... and offer strong critics to help me improve. If I could focus on improving one skill in each painting... I would go a long way.
Hard to say, but I think acrylics simply dries to fast for the way I paint. Even with retardant and spay water bottle! I paint slowly and have to deal with frequent unplanned interuptions. I am also a bit confuse with the colors changing a bit when they dry. I am not able yet to match most dry colors. Again a problem I would not have if I painted faster.
In this class, Nolan said that any acrylic classes could be painted with oils, and vice versa. Just that some requires that a step needs to dry well before proceeding to the next step. I had no problem using acrylics for simple backgrounds like 'First Rose' or the 'Semi-abstract Cityscape', and that is a neat way to get started.
Hope your business is doing well.
Post by: Danielle123 on November 15, 2016, 05:13:32 AM
I do like WC and coloured pencil, which is what I concentrate my art on. I sold my hat ladies and my little kids at the beach this past spring but I have not sold an other painting since. The bear someone wanted it but he never got back to me.
good luck in your art Annie.

Happened before, I would think "this is the worst ever" and I brace myself. Then PB members point to areas which need improvement (and I am always so grateful for any critics to help me improve) but then the unexpected when there are also comments on something good that I did not see... and that makes me really happy at the same time.
You guys ROCK! O0
