This project was part of a demonstration that was done for a group of local artists that had painted some time with both acrylics and oils.  The final project was completed using acrylics over 4 different 3 hour classes.  I should have taken a few more photos of the initial lay-in of the initial staining and background, however it gives a reasnonable idea of how the paintint was developed.

Another class project.  The artists in this class were both beginners and individuals that have been painting for a few years - mostly in oils.  This demonstration painting was done in acrylics on a masonite hardboard covered with canvas.  The painting was based on a charcoal sketch.

This project was completed as a demonstaation for an intermediate class.  A lot of classtime was spent on sketching and painting wildlife.  The initial sketch was used as a starting point only.  The completed art work was done in acrylics on a stretched canvas.
