Maroon Bells demo - paint along - students work

[sherrysherman]

Okay, here's a thread if you painted along with Johannes, or if you try the same painting later. Put your paintings here for comment, viewing, etc.

I posted my painting in the other thread. I did mine in pastels, which I'm not too comfortable with since I've only been using this medium for about a month. (Not to mention, I don't think I have the right grade of paper or pastels) But here is my try from the class.....I can't wait to see all the awesome work.

I would like for Johannes to post the photo from which everybody did their work. I had to work this Sunday so couldn't join the class but would like to try doing a version of the scene on my own, but need the photo reference.

I found working smaller helped to keep up with Johannes. This is 8x10 in oil. Great class today, Johannes, especially after you switched over to the other venue!! I understand your negative painting and dragged leaves much better now by following along with you. I hope you will post your finished painting here for us to compare ours to, thanks.

Here is my first one...I did this on 10x10 Master's Touch watercolor paper that I do not like for watercolors but seems to be good for Panpastels. I did this in shades only...I don't have my regular colors yet...so it's a little dark.

Here is after I tried to tone down the mountains and add the path. Not sure which I like better.

Thank for starting the thread Sherry. I'm sure we will get some great works.

FIRST PIC EVER IN PAN PASTELS on really cheap watercolour paper. I was one of those who got lost when Johannes switched over from Ustream to Livestream so had to play catch up. I need to find out how to avoid making muddy paper (perhaps paper quality was the issue?). Also how to make some hard edges with the panpastels - I'm used to having the choice of hard or soft edges with watercolour. Please critique without mercy!
Great class today esp. once we got through the technical issues! Thanks Johannes.

Thanks, Jo for a great class and thanks, Sherry for posting this thread. I painted along for about 1/2 the time with Jo's palette (except I use transparent earth red instead of burnt sienna) and on 9" by 12" untoned canvas panel with Galkyd lite to cut drying time. Came out well in my opinion for an alla prima work. 6 hours is a little long, but the video glitches helped by letting underpainting tack up. If you do start a live video course, Jo, I would definitely like to see homework critiques at least of some of the paintings and I would definitely be interested in participating. Stu

Hi J, thank you again for a great class, glitches and all. Had some problems keeping up, got lost once, missed some stuff, and then missed end of the class anyway. Even so, I'm not entirely unpleased with this painting. I see a few things to fix yet.
Cheers
Val
