Jonannes, love your lessons and your teaching. Thank you so much! They are gold! What a challenge with the waterfall. Pastel sticks, Rembrandt and Schmincke on Sennelier Pastel Cart, 9,5" x12,5".
Looking forward to Saturday.

Jo, Thanks so much for all of you hard work preparing and presenting these classes for us. I have learned so much from you this past year.
This particular assignment was a huge challenge for me.
The photo came out very red on the computer so I tried to adjusted the color to be more accurate. I hope it works!
All I had available was and 8"x8" canvas so I had to work very small.
This is oil paints.

Hello everyone, After seeing the incrediable paintings all of you have submited I was embarrased of my first one, like someone else wrote "it took a life of its own". So I gave it another shot, I will admit I used a little of this and that from the paintings here and hope I came up with my own. It is oil pencils on all media board with mineral spirits. The naked tree towards the middle was going to have a interesting branch sticking out but changed my mind. I played with it in photoshop and didn't like it, so it is naked-lol. As a beginner, I would appreciate any and all comments. Thank you all for sharing your wonderful talents-Carla

Thanks jezurus, jose and spudsmom for your kind comments. It took 4 painting to get this.

I am realllllllly reluctant to post this, as you folks all have done such beautiful work. I never paint this way, I am more methodical, and "tight" (or so I am told, LOL), so I tried to do this in a couple of hours, per Jo's lessons . . . ARGH. Oil on canvas panel . . .

This is a 5x7 inch oil, on hardboard. Had trouble getting good pic without glare,but thank you Johannes for the fun class.

Hi Jo - I decided to try using the pallet knife on this one to keep sharp edges on the rocks. I found your rock feedback on my painting from the student critique helpful in the execution of this one. As always, feedback is desired...
