Update: more work in process: Beatrix's Roses

 
 Update: more work in process: Beatrix's Roses by Sandra Galda
12"x13" approx. oil on oil primed linen


 "Brown Paper Study" by Sandra Galda


Thought you may like to see additional work I am doing now.  The brown paper charcoal drawing is part of the studio process which helps an artist determine if he has an acceptable value pattern and composition.  I have a long way yet to go on the painting, this type of work is very representational and each area must be as true to color value and form so it is a long process. There is much to be learned through this kind of training. I am thankful for the the wise guidance of my art teacher!

update :Brown Paper Prep Drawing and experimental blog....

Brown Paper Prep Drawing by Sandra Galda
charcoal and chalk on brown wrapping paper

This is an update on the brown paper sketch prep drawing for a still life in the studio.  This is the first time I am doing this exercise which aids an artist in exploring the value systems, edge characteristics, and composition, in a still life set up in preparation for a painting.  I am putting an additional special interest blog that is in its trial stage-Not sure if it will fly for long but here it is!  http://thebostonschoolofpainting.blogspot.com/

Tuesday's color exercise

 Tuesday's color study by Sandra Galda
8"x10" oil on cradled gessoboard

 This is my second attempt at a "color study" just hitting the color notes and not worrying about producing a painting.  The gold cloth in the background is painted tooooo yellow.  I see areas of the set up that could use adjustment, for example, I may need to throw a slightly darker tone on the back white "wall."  If interested in purchasing this, or 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.

Studio Exercises

 Color Notes Exercise 5-2-11

 Still life set up for Color Notes Exercise

 Brown Paper Value Study of still life

 Second Full Value Figure Study by Sandra Galda
(unfinished, 2.5 days, 2 hour sessions)

First Full Value Figure Study by Sandra Galda
March 2011 (somewhat finished)

Here is some of the exercises I am currently busy with at Ingbretson Studios.  Paul's brushwork is evident in the colorful study at top, he took my brush and generously worked some on this one for my instruction. I will save it as a good example for my records of a "start."  The aim is to "hit the color notes" in the still life as accurately as possible and only roughly indicate the shapes of the items.  I have painted since childhood, but today is my very first day to pick up paint and paint in this studio!  I have been training in the Boston Style of fine art for the past 3 semesters. Even though I have not been busy with my own painting very much since March due to  a fractured wrist (rollerskating with our daughter and her classmates), I can do some artwork--but it does make my wrist hurt after a while.  If interested in purchasing this, or 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.

I started this new painting today, tried to quickly put the value relationships down and approximate the color while working fast.  I dont know if the flowers will hold out for me to bring this one to completion.  but it is good exercise to attempt!  If interested in purchasing this, or 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.
