2015 CESG Classes Will Begin Soon!

January 2015 and Oil Painting Classes will begin soon!

Before they do, I'm taking some easel time to create a palette knife painting of one of Florida's beautiful wading birds, a roseate spoonbill.

This painting was a commission, now hanging in a beautiful Florida home.

Open House at the CESG Artist Cottage in Riverside Park, Bonita Springs, FL

It's always a fun, busy time for meeting visitors from around the USA and countries around the world. It's fun to know a bit of artwork is displayed in many homes and enjoyed by people wherever they live.

The 2014 New Year At The CESG Artist Cottage!

The New Year starts with Basic to Advanced Oil Painting classes for many new and returning students.

It's all about creating a 3-dimensional image on a flat surface using the effects of light, changing values, cool and warm colors, and learning to use brush strokes.

 

 

 

 

Christmas Already?

 

No worries! Still time for a private lesson at CESG's artist cottage before the New Year!
