Cindy Swindell: January 2009

http://cindyswindell.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html

Tuesday, January 20, 2009. I've been following a fantastic blog named Different Strokes from Different Folks. Karin Jurik is a wonderful artist and photographer who will post a picture for inspiration. Artist from all over paint their interpretation of it, send her a jpeg and the weeks results are posted. It is facinating to see the different takes on it. Not looking at Karin's blog until I was finished so I wouldn't be influenced. Sunday, January 18, 2009. Labels: 8x6 oil on board. A bit about me.

Cindy Swindell: Qiang Huang ~ Day 3

http://cindyswindell.blogspot.com/2011/04/qiang-huang-day-3.html

Sunday, April 17, 2011. Qiang Huang Day 3. A quick paint morning before the afternoon lecture about the business side of art. Qiang. Is a wonderful teacher, both with the artistic side and the business side. He's very clear, precise and detailed. Did I mention he's an engineer in real life? Would recommend his workshops. And fellow artists. It was great learning experience (but, boy, am I tired! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A bit about me. I am a painter of life. I paint one day at a time.

Cindy Swindell: October 2010

http://cindyswindell.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

Saturday, October 2, 2010. I had a wonderful day at a workshop by Bill Kalwick. Today Bill is a lot of fun, very knowledgable, and full of encouragement, especially to someone who hasn't painted in over a year. It feel so great to put brush to canvas, squinting and hoping to find the right values needed. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A bit about me. I am a painter of life.

Cindy Swindell: Qiang Huang ~ Day 2

http://cindyswindell.blogspot.com/2011/04/qiang-huang-day-2.html

Saturday, April 16, 2011. Qiang Huang Day 2. Oh, the pain of a high key painting (light background) and a light pink rose. And Cobalt. And a silver bowl. I love a challenge, but hate it at the same time. Again, not a finished piece, but an exercise. Did a demo that included 3 different color roses. It is so beautifully. Done, I could weep. Here's a detail from his painting. April 17, 2011 at 8:27 AM. I love high key paintings, but I feel your pain! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A bit about me.

Cindy Swindell: Qiang Huang ~ Day 1

http://cindyswindell.blogspot.com/2011/04/qiang-huang-day-1.html

Friday, April 15, 2011. Qiang Huang Day 1. Day 1 of a 3 day still life workshop with Qiang Huang. Qiang started out talking about composition and set-up. The way he presented "clicked" with me and made it easier to set-up a still life for our afternoon painting session. Qiang did a demo for us that made it all look so easy. Plus, I was having easel problems that caused a big problem (more later). April 16, 2011 at 7:48 AM. Nice, Cindy. I love the apple. Good work in such a short time. A bit about me.

Cindy Swindell: December 2008

http://cindyswindell.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html

Thursday, December 25, 2008. Cherry Study no. 2. This is a value study of a cherry that had the most lyrical of stems. The painting was completed in less then 15 minutes during a workshop with Carol Marine. As much as I enjoy the cherry itself, I just adore the twist of the stem. much like a graceful dancer.

Cindy Swindell: April 2009

http://cindyswindell.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

Sunday, April 26, 2009. I have a confession. I haven't painted in over 3 months. Yeah. I would look at my "studio" and just think "some day." Well, I had to chop part of my geranium plant and decide to paint the trimmings. Easy, right? Pink is notoriously hard to paint, glass is challenging because it's all tones and values, and the blue? Well, I just love the color manganese. Here's a picture of my studio area. A Companion of Diana. Where artists are encouraged to paint or draw their own interpretations.

Cindy Swindell: Reflection

http://cindyswindell.blogspot.com/2009/07/reflection.html

Tuesday, July 28, 2009. This painting was from a photograph I took in a workshop with Gladys Roldan de Moras. We worked on a pose (picture below) for a day but during the model breaks, Carla would roll onto her back, shut her eyes and rest. I asked if I could take a picture and she agreed. Carla was actually reading the book during the class pose which is why her resting pose struck me as poignant. When I read a book. August 16, 2009 at 6:41 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
