"Rose of Sharon Blossom" oil sketch

"Rose of Sharon Blossom" oil sketch by Sandra Galda

6"x6" oil on gessoboard

I have been really busy this month and haven't painted many small paintings. We just celebrated our anniversary a couple days ago and thought this special flower, seen in some of my outdoor wedding pictures, would make a good exercise in painting.

"Oil sketch: Figure"

"Oil Sketch: Figure" (detail) by Sandra Galda

8"x10"oil on cradled gessoboard

It is a real challenge to produce any 8x10 inch oil of a figure in only a couple of hours, I could have used many more hours on this one, but it is really good exercise to see what you can come up with under such constraints.

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."

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.
