Finally, a decent painting from my painting class. This is a 20 X 24 oil on masonite (or hardboard as it is called today). It's a completely different style for me. I'm learning from Melanie Atkinson, a style that is completely different from what I was taught by my first painting teacher, Becky Barnett, who taught me to paint in the style of the old masters. This painting was produced quickly, in less than 5 hours, which is equivalent to two class periods.
It's taken some time, but I'm beginning to get the hang of Melanie's fast and loose technique. I have a long way to go, but I'm seeing progress enough to share now. I love the little red pottery bird, produced locally at Wolfe Fine Art Studio in Jackson.
