http://debpero.blogspot.com/2009/09/stapleton-kearns-workshop.html
Like Watching Paint Dry. Art instruction and other fun stuff by Debra Pero. Sunday, September 20, 2009. This weekend, I am taking a plein air painting workshop with Stapleton Kearns. Besides being an incredibly gifted painter, Stape is also a great instructor, and all around funny guy. We are spending three days on Peter and Ann Sawyer's beautiful 200 year old farm here in Jaffrey. And painting like mad, for about 8 or more hours each day. This is hard work! Here is a short excerpt of Stape doing the mor...

Like Watching Paint Dry. Art instruction and other fun stuff by Debra Pero. Saturday, January 26, 2013. First painting in quite awhile. Still Life With Nest II. 15x30 oil on linen panel. Well, I dove right back in to painting after about a 7 month hiatus. The impetus was a juried show here in New Mexico. I did very well at this same show last year, and so I felt it was a good investment of time to. Enter again, and hope for the best. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Making a Copy of a Remington painting.

Like Watching Paint Dry: Preparing Your Canvas

Like Watching Paint Dry. Art instruction and other fun stuff by Debra Pero. Sunday, November 15, 2009. This is a study done from an original painting by Richard Schmid) It has nothing to do with tonight's post except I just thought I needed a photo!

(it's not real gesso, but that's what they call it, so we'll go with th...
