Carol Nelson workshop in Granbury, TX

Here's a FEW examples of the wonderful work produced by the fabulous group at my workshop in Granbury Texas, last week.  To see more of their work, I uploaded 36 photos on my facebook page.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have barely unpacked from Texas before I have to get lots of paintings framed and ready to go for the SUMMER ART MARKET this coming weekend in Denver.

This is my favorite outdoor show every year.  Find me in booth 169, on Grant St, just north of 3rd.

Midas Touch

 

I love everything about this painting.  If you've been following my work at all, you know how fond I am of this color palette.  It has other things I love too such as metal leaf and texture.

In this extreme close up, you can see the blue and turquoise notes that are not very evident in the above photos.  I just LOVE adding those little complimentary touches toward the end of a painting.

For more information about this painting, click here to go to my website.

Introduction to Acrylics - one day workshop in Aurora, Colorado

Hi Colorado residents!  My one day workshop in Aurora, CO, still has space available.  This class is an excellent introduction to the mysteries of acrylic mediums and textures.  No need to stand in the aisle of an art supply store looking dumbfounded at 37 kinds of acrylic mediums - after this class you'll know what they are and how to use them.

I will also show you INEXPENSIVE SUBSTITUTES you can buy for a fraction of the price of the art store products.  After this workshop, you will go home with a texture sampler for future reference and a completed mixed media abstract painting.

Call the Bicentennial Art Center at 303-344-1776 and reserve your spot in class #147799, Introduction to Acrylics.
