Learn to make trees a dynamic element in your painting
The Greenville Art Guild is inviting beginning and experienced artists
and anyone interested in fine art painting to a free and enlightening
demonstration on painting trees by Sandy Cable Barringer on
July 16 at 7:00. Trees can be part of a landscape or the star of your
painting. When done right, trees are an exciting dynamic element.
If you are an artist, you have probably had moments where you asked
yourself the question, "Why don't my trees look real?" Then
you decide to change the tube of color you are using for the leaves and
the trunk; however, this does not solve the problem. Sandy
will demonstrate ways to correct this problem and how to paint trees in
acrylic and watercolor, emphasizing how to mix paint to create a
variety of greens! It may seem complicated to translate the
unique qualities of trees onto your canvas, but Sandy will get you
started in the right direction. Sandy Cable Barringer will fill
her palette with unusual combinations of colors for trees, leaves and
trunks. You will wonder "Why didn't I dig into my paint box to
use purple to make a realistic green?" The secret of unfolding a
realistic tree will be revealed during the demonstrations. For example,
what is the color "blumber" and how can it be used to paint bark?
Materials will be available for you to try these color mixing ideas in
miniature with acrylic or watercolor paint that evening. There
will be a short Guild meeting at 6:30, then the free, open to the
public demonstration will follow at 7 PM. The meeting and demo
will be at the old junior high art room in the rear of Memorial
Hall. The Guild thanks the Greenville Schools and Anna Bier
Gallery for allowing us the use of this room for community art projects
like this. For more information, call Guild President Marilyn Banks at
937-423-0630. Please join us on July 16 at 7:00 for this exciting
demo. You will not be disappointed!
