We have moved to Florida!

Hi all, 
A post to update my news! We have moved to Florida! I now will be teaching in my new state! I have been busy painting and reorganizing the studio and its teaching activities. I love the weather and the beautiful landscapes, seascapes, trees, flowers and weather! I have many folks here who are very eager to learn the Boston School painting I teach and practice. I am still an approved Art Renewal Center atelier, https://www.artrenewal.org/Atelier/Index/10172 and I hope to have images soon of my teaching activities in the sunny south! 

Please check back as the fall semester gets underway. Please also be patient, as the pandemic restrictions have affected all of us in our business!
Thanks, 
Sandra

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

Both of these images require extended time to complete, a different experience all together from the daily small paintings I usually post.  I love both approaches! I am in the really fun finishing stages in the oil painting and the cast drawing above !

In process: Running Cast drawing exercise

In Process: "Running Cast" drawing exercise by Sandra Galda

Here is today's work on the running cast project.  More to do on this one, I am learning lots!  I stand on a taped on "X" on the floor and wear a dedicated pair of shoes that stay in the studio so I can stand in the exact spot and exact height, stare at the cast, then walk up to the paper and draw.  Repeat almost endlessly,try to reprduce image perfectly......  If interested in purchasing any of my available art on this blog, contact my email address sgalda@aol.com or use the PayPal button if included in the post.
