Painting Demo and Student Work

"Yellow Tulips"  Demo  8x8"  Acrylic  (SOLD)
Here is my painting demo from Day 2 of the workshop. I always time the demos, because the name of the workshop is "how to paint fast, loose and bold", so I have to be aware of living up to the title. It took 23 minutes from start to finish.
Below is a painting from one the so-called "beginner" students. I have included the still life reference so you can see how she interpreted it. Is this painting cool or what? Love the stylization and color translation.

    I attended this workshop in Greenville, NY. Patti is an excellent teacher. I came home with many new "tools" to apply to my painting. She really shares her knowledge in a fun and understandable way! Thanks so much! I do have one question. I put my paints in a need box. You suggested putting a couple of drops of ?? something in the paints when I start to use them each time. Was it Open acrylic medium? Or Open acrylic thinner?
    Thanks, MJ hadley

    Hi Mary Jane!
    it was so great to work with you. Yes, a few drops of Open acrylic medium in each compartment will help to keep your paints moist. I just started doing that, altho for years I never put anything in the compartments other than the paint. You can also store the bead box in a 2 gallon zip lock bag with a wet paper towel floating around in it for extra moisture.
    Keep up the great work, Mary Jane, and happy painting !
