Sandy Maudlin: FIREWORKS, PART ONE
http://sandymaudlin.blogspot.com/2012/07/fireworks-part-one.html
FIREWORKS, PART ONE. Watching fireworks is lots easier than painting them. This is my first attempt, using fluid acrylics on Yupo. The real show was spectacular overlooking Lake Wawasee. The next painting will be considerably larger. This was a trial run, and my hope is to capture that intense, breathtaking, spectacular display of light, texture, and color without making a garish painting. Fluid Acrylics on Yupo 5 x 7". I can almost hear the oohhhs and aahhhhs. Cant wait to see a larger version. This two...

Sandy Maudlin: WINTER REDS
http://sandymaudlin.blogspot.com/2013/01/winter-reds.html
A light dusting of snow on the ground looks so beautiful this time of year. So far, it's been a decently mild winter with a bit of a recent cold snap. The birds love eating at the feeders, and seeing them from my studio is a joy. Here's one of the cardinals, painted on hot pressed Arches, 140#, with watercolor. Transparent Watercolor on 140#HP Arches 10x15". January 26, 2013 at 4:05 PM. Thanks Patty and Vicki. January 26, 2013 at 7:37 PM. January 29, 2013 at 6:35 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Sandy Maudlin: NEW PAPER
http://sandymaudlin.blogspot.com/2012/08/painting-on-new-surface-is-always.html
Painting on a new surface is always exciting and challenging, and the last time I painted on Indian paper was about twenty years ago. This paper, Punjab, comes in a beautiful, handmade book, sold at Daniel Smith in Seattle. I loved the paper! This little sketch book will be going to Frayssinet, France with me very soon where, hopefully, it will be filled with paintings of the beautiful French countryside. Thanks, Linda, for the great sketch book! Watercolor on 140# Rough Punjab Paper 4 x 7". Meera, its c...

Sandy Maudlin: BARCELONA PIGEONS
http://sandymaudlin.blogspot.com/2013/10/barcelona-pigeons.html
A statue of a Spanish dignitary seems very attentive to these two Catalonian pigeons. This is a TAPE BATIK done on YUPO with Fluid Acrylics. I had to paint it because it made me laugh when I saw them having their discussion with the robed figure in Barcelona. This was one of the demos from our YUPO workshop a couple of weeks ago here in my studio, and l. Ots of adjustments were made once the tape was removed. A Little Birdie Told Me". Fluid Acrylics and Watercolor on YUPO 12 x 18". Best wishes, Sadami.

Sandy Maudlin: NATURE TO ABSTRACT - the Beginning
http://sandymaudlin.blogspot.com/2012/04/getting-to-take-workshop-instead-of.html
NATURE TO ABSTRACT - the Beginning. Getting to take a workshop instead of give one is like receiving a gift.

Was my instructor for the first four days, and his class had a huge impact on my art and my life. More to come soon. Fluid Acrylics on YUPO 12 x 20". Hi, Sandy,. Look forward to next. Go, go, Sandy!

Sandy Maudlin: YUPO ADJUSTMENTS ARE EASY!
http://sandymaudlin.blogspot.com/2012/12/yupo-adjustments-are-easy.html
YUPO ADJUSTMENTS ARE EASY! Finished, again. Changes on Yupo are so easy to make, once you figure how what changes to make to improve the painting. Using the Valueviewer Ap, I snapped pictures of the painting before and after, then switched each photo to a Notan, showing the dark and light value patterns in the pictures. The pattern which dark and light shapes make in a painting is the first thing we notice from a distance. If it is a good pattern with good shapes, we will want to see it closer. Exciting ...

Sandy Maudlin: COLLECTIONS EXPLORED
http://sandymaudlin.blogspot.com/2012/04/collections-explored.html
For our workshop at Kanuga last week, in North Carolina, we were to bring something we collected or at least pictures of what we collected. It's GIRAFFES, of course, for me. Our assignment the first day was to use something from our collection and meld it into a painting to include something from nature from Bruce's unique collection - of bones and shells of animals. SO ALIKE; SO DIFFERENT". Fluid Acrylics, Watercolor, Alcohol, Watercolor Pencils on YUPO 14x20". It sounds very interesting and exciting!

Sandy Maudlin: REVISIONS
http://sandymaudlin.blogspot.com/2012/03/revisions.html
65279;I met Grandpa Otter when he was paddling around in the small fishing cove in Homer, Alaska. He was waiting for the day's catch to show up so he could enjoy a free supper. He seemed nearly friendly as he posed for us. 65279; The original painting, above, was completed. Over ten years ago then. Framed. Recently I removed the painting from the frame and decided to make adjustments. Since it's watercolor on YUPO, it was easy to remove paint and add paint. Now I like it. He was so adorable! He is rea...
