SEASONAL NOTES WINTER 2024

Sunrise From the Studio (photo)

 

 

Scintillating

This was in my Fall Notes. After looking at it for a while, I went back in with some subtle changes; mostly deeper values I have finally resolved it to a more successful finish.

 

 

The Tourists

This is on a half sheet of Stonehnge paper, which has a liftable surface. This makes it easy to smooth edges and lift lights. The subject is from a photo I took while in New York’s Washington Square several years ago in late spring. These ladies were obviously touring and I responded to their enthusism. In each of these paintings the values and color were intensified. Some shapes were slightly altered.

 

NEWS

Wishing you all a happy Holiday season and a wonderful New Year!

I no longer teach workshops. There is still painting information under the workshops link in the header on my website. I do have 4 digital books, a hard cover book and 2 videos on this site for those who want to see information about how I paint, my materials and more. There is also painting information in the archived issues of the Seasonal Notes from other seasons and in several articles and interviews posted under the Articles heading in the top Bar of the Home page.

You can view a variety of my paintings on the gallery pages. Many of these are still available for sale. Contact me at ann@annpember.com if you are interested in information about a particular painting.
