My husband and I have been keeping in touch with friends via Zoom and I have taken a few classes that way as well . Since I had to cancel so many things I planned I have decided to teach a six week live Zoom Course . The Joy of Watercolor , we will cover many fundamentals to painting in watercolor while doing fun exercises. This is a perfect class for someone wanting to learn watercolor as well as an artist wanting to brush up and develop a habit of purposeful practice. You may find more information and sign up on my website <a href="http://www.dianeklock.com/">www.Dianeklock.com</a> You can find me on instagram at Dklo3<br />

I have been blessed not only to teach others but to attend a few workshops to help me grow in my own art walk .<br />
<div>
Values, Values, Values a tool at the top of my list for this year and I will look forward to teaching and helping you as much as I can . Shapes and the bead , looking at shapes instead of things and following the paint water bead to make smoother washes have also helped me a lot and of course the most important thing has been Practice, Practice and Practice . I know life gets in the was but do try to sketch or do a small painting a day or a few a week . What you learn will be Priceless . </div>

I decided to try it again as I wasn’t crazy about the results so I tried it again without wetting the paper or putting on a light underpainting . I like the second one better as I like the sparkle of the white paper . <i>What do you think , which one do you like better ?</i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ6wV3kfY5LSSxdgDwyazjUxVsjOCxeWVyKpSuySJfZ2kSEr4sZEyhJAN9IejXa8ssbZrv8p4mZMLA7AqvSpfaHN5Ujx98DNshc6VezhzRWMZeokZAVQouH9wSBLvgH-U5B0AWxNpDgWo/s1600/E1907A7D-6098-41DE-80A4-13A117B96810.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ6wV3kfY5LSSxdgDwyazjUxVsjOCxeWVyKpSuySJfZ2kSEr4sZEyhJAN9IejXa8ssbZrv8p4mZMLA7AqvSpfaHN5Ujx98DNshc6VezhzRWMZeokZAVQouH9wSBLvgH-U5B0AWxNpDgWo/s320/E1907A7D-6098-41DE-80A4-13A117B96810.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>

I started with a watercolor sketch in my new sketchbook which is filled with watercolor paper . I then ventured into my favorite painting of the day ,The Value Painting . I know students don't like doing these but I really encourage you to give it another try if you shy away from them. </div>
</div>
<div>
I did the Value painting with a couple standing behind me watching , talk about nerves but I am thrilled with it . The trouble comes next when I did not really follow it too much . Lesson learned , keep at it . I can surely say I know my subject at this point. I also did another version when I returned home as I thought these might be a bit dark .<br />

Still a city mouse /country mouse. Hi, I am just back from a two week Plein Air Painting Marathon . I spent a week painting the English Countryside in Essex and then back to NYC painting Central Park , Bryant Park , Times Square , Brooklyn and other bustling city locations. I am tired but a good tired and did learn to travel light.<br />
I will post those paintings as soon as I have photographed them . In the meantime I am trying to learn how to use Instagram , I was encouraged to give it a go by Jim Morgan an English artist and new friend . You can find him through <a href="http://watercolouraddictsgallery.com/">Jim Morgan Watercolouraddictsgallery.com</a><br />
I posted the painting below as I am putting down my paintbrush this weekend as we are having a houseful of guests . I hope you enjoy seeing The Chefs<br />

I hope you can join me for one or both of these fun classes this summer. You can find more information on my website <a href="http://www.dianeklock.com/">Dianeklock.com</a> or call the View at 315-369-6411 <br />

<br />
The good news is I have been practicing, painting and learning new skills in my absence . I am off on a new adventure the end of this week with my paint brush in hand and my sketchbook by my side.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915701548065631457.post-78450585763010614262018-11-13T12:29:00.001-05:002018-11-13T12:29:02.444-05:00You still have plenty of time to create your own cards and calendars for gifts. Just a little encouragement for you , it is not too late to make your own cards and calendars to use for gifts . <br />
Thanksgiving is not even here yet and I can already see the stores are getting geared up and ready, and one even having Black Friday sales .Whats up with that ? The Rockefeller Christmas Tree is even being lit a week earlier this year . What ?<br />
I love Thanksgiving and we all have so much to be thankful for, so for one I am slowing down and trying to Be Still for a time each day and reflect on the meaning of both Thanksgiving and Christmas before doing all the day to day things that need to be done before our celebrations . <br />
<br />
I do want to share some encouragement for those of you who have artwork and want to make gifts for Christmas this year , you still have plenty of time . Here is what you need good photos of your artwork . You need a minimum of 13 pics for a calendar but of course the more you can choose from the more fun it is . You can make your own calendars , cards and so much more today with sites like Moo.com , Shutterfly , Cafe Press and Zazzle. Here are a few pics to get some ideas.<br />
<br />

This is a wonderful desk calendar I ordered for this year from Shutterfly that comes with a cute little wooden easel .<br />

Here is my traditional desk calendar that I also make from Shutterfly ( no Shutterfly has no idea I am recommending them . I am just passing along products I love.<br />

I got hooked on doing these during a recent workshop, Who knew I would develop a love for Windsor Newton Paynes Gray. Those who know me know I never liked that color before but it is fabulous for value sketches along with Holbein TitaniumWhite or gouache.<br />
<br />
Here are a few of my sample quick studies to get warmed up . I don't spend more than an hour of the whole sheet and work on them all at the same time , letting things dry and moving on to the next.<br />
Remember to set your timer . Till next time " Keep your brush wet and your sketchbook by your side and keep practicing as practice will improve your work .<br />

Hi all , Left in the snow and returned in the snow. Lol !<br />
Our growth as an artist is an adventurous hard working process and we will never quite get there this side of heaven . We all need time to rest, play with our paint, let our minds wander, try new approaches , get out of our comfort zones , take a class . I have done all of the above recently and am refreshed and recharged. I left here....<br />

The Christmas season is in full swing with everyone hustling and bustling about shopping , baking and decorating . I am trying to purposefully make time to be still , read God's word and sketch . This sketch was done with a sharpened stick and ink and then a watercolor wash was added. </div>

I first learned about stick and ink while studying the artwork of Edward Wesson an English painter 1910-1983. His work was introduced to me by UK artist <a href="http://www.stevehallartist.co.uk/">Steve Hall </a>. I don't believe in coincidences so I am always grateful when God leads me to one thing which then leads to another and another. I now have many books about Edward Wesson in my book collection and study them often . His watercolors are fresh and transparent; and many of his works were in stick and ink with a watercolor wash.<br />
A simple old fashioned idea right ? a stick , who would have thought something so simple could be so much fun . It really has a way of freeing you to experiment and have fun with your drawings and color washes . It is not for the realist as you don't have the control over the stick and the amount of ink on it but if you want to have a fun afternoon head out and find some sticks , sharpen them with a razor blade or knife and dip them into permanent ink and go for it .<br />

Make sure your ink is really dry before adding your watercolor . I like to use DeAtramentis archive Ink<br />

Draw quickly as you will never get exact lines depending how you cut your stick . I just love the changing thicknesses of the lines as well as the texture you get sketching this way .<br />

It indeed was a wonderful wedding, I know from experience overtime when I look at back at these quick sketches all the sights and sounds of that special day will come back into my memory like I was seeing it for the first time . I did want to say these sketches were quick , a minute or 2 just your impression. Take photos for reference and put a color wash on when you get home as you are at the event to socialize and have a good time .<br />
I hope you are able to give special events in your life a try, family get togethers , recitals , concerts , graduations or just hanging out with friends . I will look forward to seeing your sketches.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915701548065631457.post-62058082411721739432017-10-25T13:33:00.002-04:002017-10-25T13:33:25.272-04:00NYC Subway and Bus sketching Hi, Hope you are all painting and sketching as time permits in your life. I wanted to share a few more posts on quick sketching with you , this is the first of 3 , hoping that you all get out of your comfort zone and give it a try as the weather is still nice . I know you will be encouraged and surprised that you had the boldness and confidence to " Do It" and will feel a sense of satisfaction , '"I did It "<br />
This post contains sketches I have done over the last week and half . My trip to the dentist to get a crown and our trip downtown on Saturday to play tourist . <br />
<br />
All sketches were done in a Cachet journal by Daler Rowney with pretty thin paper and with a Ultra Fine Sharpie Marker ( so I can't erase ) . On the # 6 Train those sketches were done with a Pilot Brush Pen I was trying out and need to work with it more so I can get both thick as well as thin lines.<br />
<br />
The challenge is sketching in public while moving and staying focused and keeping your body balanced.<br />

These were done to and from downtown. I found it most helpful to lean my sketchbook on the pole in the middle of the train . The hard part was keeping my balance as the train is moving.<br />

I do encourage you to make an artist date with yourself and head out with your sketchbook . Coffee shops and malls are a great place to sketch people . If I can help you in any way on your own art journey please don't hesitate to ask . Sketching has been a quick way to keep seeing and recording the world around me , especially when life gets busy . It has been such a blessing to me to see my students out and about with their sketchbooks. I will look forward to seeing yours .<br />

<br />
What a feast for the eyes. We just came back from 4 National Parks in Utah , what a beautiful state . We hiked and I sketched the beauty of the land that God has made . Wow! If you haven't been to these National parks I would highly recommend them , Zion, Capital Reef, Arches and Canyonlands. Here are a few sketches from my sketchbook .<br />

These were all done with a ultra fine sharpie marker in a Stillman and Birn Beta soft covered sketchbook . It was nice and light to carry in my backpack. I met many people on the trails we were on wanting to try sketching . I spent time talking and encouraging each of them and if you haven't given it a try please do . I will be glad to help you any way I can.<br />

I did manage to find a scruffy tree to sit under while I sketched . I was grateful for it as it was so hot and the sun was glaring even with my hat and sunglasses. If I could put my whole book on here I would , seeing the world through your sketchbook is a fabulous experience as you look back you will remember all the details of your day and your trip. Until next time , enjoy this beautiful day .<br />

I know how hard it is to get back into a routine after attending a workshop . How do you put into practice all you learned? The only way I know is to ..... Yup ! you guessed it , Practice ....</div>

<div>
Here is some of what I have practiced this week along with putting some color washes on my sketches.</div>

This is a 1/2 sheet which I divided off with masking tape and focused on shapes . I used my sketchbook as a reference as well as my photos. No drawing just focusing on shapes ( whoops! I did draw on the sketch on the far right) </div>

Remember to always go back to what you know . Sketch simply , Use a limited palette , practice brush strokes (learn what your brush can do ) Think focal point , values , composition and HAVE FUN while you are practicing and paint what you love and love what you paint . </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If I can help you in any way please email me . I can help you via email, Skype or FaceTime . Till Next time " Keep your brush wet and your sketchbook by your side "</div>
