Welcome to Deb, a new student!

Today we had Cathy, Tasha, Chris, Jenny, and Deb at the studio to paint.  We had so much fun, it was like a party! Check out the wonderful things they are doing!
Enjoying some lovely music, each other's company and painting is a fun combination.
Deb prepping the Masonite boards with rubbing alcohol (to dissolve some of the chemicals in the board that would damage the painting), GAC-100 Multi-Purpose Acrylic Polymer (to put a barrier between any residual chemicals and the painting ) and gesso (to prepare the surface with "tooth" so that the paint can grab and bond to the support (board).
Jenny did some really wonderful glazing layers today on her painting. I love how it's coming along.
Cathy started this fun Rose painting that she plans on putting on her office wall.  Way to go Cathy!
Tasha is doing the foundational work of blocking in her colors. She is taking ideas from a couple of different references and creating a new look all her own! I'm excited to see how it turns out!
Chris is using three different references to create a unique one-of-a-kind painting for her husband. I predict this painting will be something the family holds very special as an heirloom one day.
