I have been asked several times why I don't paint my dogs. I should, but getting them to sit still long enough to get a good photograph is tough!

Sounds like a good class. Now if I can just finish drawing that owl...

tried painting after i retired ---one from memory of river in flood and a train i was working on stopped just before the bridge that was washed away . looked alright to me , but certainly had no meaning to anyone else

I have essential tremor too but not as bad as you. I have problems carrying drinks, getting my fork to my mouth with food still on it, beading, threading needles. People just think I'm a klutz.

It would be fun to paint a Buddy the Cat portrait. Are you going to paint some of your kitties along with the students?

I did it once. Now I feel that if I spend class time working on my own canvas that I am cheating the class out of attention, so I spend the hours going from one to another and helping them solve problems. The first thing we will do is turn off the lights and use my projector to cast the images of their photos onto their canvases, & sketch them in pencil real quick. This saves time and gives them a great start.

That is great. I am currently trying to do that canyon Laura posted and it is driving me wild.

It is always something I consider, too. For instance, the painting I have been struggling with for weeks is driving me bananas. But I know I can "pull it off." I just keep at it.

reply by jondude on Sept 8, 2010 6:28 AM ()

The first thing I tell my students:

Look at the subject you want to paint. Can you pull it off? Are you accomplished enough to do it? If you have any doubt at all, find another subject.

Oh how I would love to take a class like that. All they offer here is landscape but I have more interest in portrait drawing and painting. Maybe I'll take a class, if I ever regain the use of my thumb.

I am right-handed but my essential tremor has made me paint left handed for over two years now.

-- wish I could be there.

comment by redwolftimes on Sept 7, 2010 2:16 PM ()
