Updates, teaching, magazine article

 Since the last post I have some news on my art activities! 

-In May my very first atelier student completed  cast bust drawing. This adult student stated he had never had any previous formal art training.  He came to draw a couple hours about 2-3x a month after his day job, for about 7 months.  Here is a picture of his completed charcoal cast drawing:


July found me on an almost two week trip to Italy with my husband, Pompeii, Naples, Rome, Florence, and Venice.  I saw so much great art and historic points of interest.


In September I began teaching at a local private prep/high school Atelier Studies and Art and Design/Theater set class.  Below are four of the many students I am teaching at the high school.


In November my husband and I spent 18 days traveling working and sightseeing in Melbourne, Australia, and London, England. I saw so much art and points of interest my eyes were sore.  What a
wonderful year.


Finally, I must mention the Magazine article I was included in for the November issue of Northshore Magazine. They wrote an article on food and art and some local artists who have painted food in many of their paintings! 



  Its been a great year.  I hope to post more often, life has been so busy.  I am thrilled to be teaching my high school students the Boston School of painting, and will post some of their great work soon.  I am still taking in some training under Paul Ingbretson's guidance at Ingbretson Studios, he is such a great artist and teacher!
more to come,
Sandra Galda

"Fish and Onions" In process

"Fish and Onions" by Sandra Galda
16"x20" oil on canvas
In Process


Here is a work I am just about finished painting.   When finished, it may be going into a show.  The fish have been very cooperative with me through the process.  They have been in and out of the freezer in bags multiple times without complaining. The onions on the other hand had to be replaced from the stage two times due to shrinking and molding. Some performers are difficult. I thought I would show the fish in those bags below:


My art teacher Paul Ingbretson is giving a lecture on the Boston School Style of Painting April 7, 2013 at 3-4:30PM at the Newburyport Art Association in Newburyport Ma.  Come learn more about this beautiful style of painting still being taught in ateliers today!

"Summer Orange" SOLD

"Summer Orange" by Sandra Galda
6"x6" oil on gessoboard
95.00
SOLD
originally posted:  click here


The spring flowering trees and bushes have been awesome this year and flowers are easy to come by again!  The charcoal sketch is of a still life I am working on in the studio. It is a brown paper sketch to explore the potential still life subject, its values and composition. The brown paper strips can be moved to find a good dimension for the image.

Handmade Vase and Orange Daisy


Handmade Vase and Orange Daisy by Sandra Galda
6"x8" oil on canvas board

Wow this took a lot of time today to paint! I underestimated both how hard it is to paint a strangely fired pot and a larger format. It is very challenging to paint flowers. We bought several different colored types of this plant so I could create different color schemes in the small daily paintings.
