Hot Off the Easel April 15


This week I had the opportunity to see a free demo by artist Jane Angelhart, from the Andreeva Gallery in Sante Fe,NM.


For those who often say "there's nothing to do", you really missed out on this one..........


Even if you weren't an artist you would have enjoyed watching as she boldly played with color and a person came to life on the paper!


Jane's demo was in watercolor, although she also paints in oils. I was impressed by her bold use of color in doing portraits in the realist style! She was very open and sharing. Jane also was excellent in verbalizing technique as she painted.She was full of hints and suggestions, along with a great sense of humor!


It was a couple of days before I had time to set down with my watercolors. This is the painting of "Alex" that I did in about 2 hours....

Hey there, Ruth Ann. I loved your painting of Alex. You do a beautiful job with watercolor, and I wonder why it is not your favorite medium. Loved it! You go, girl. Rebecca
