A New Goal for January
I have a new Painting Goal for January. To start the year off with a
burst... I'll be doing a 21-in-31! That's 21 paintings in 31 days. I'll
be posting all of them on my Patreon, as well as my website, as I
finish each one.
Here's the first:
Painting 1 of 21 "Another Cute Calf" (pastel, 8x8 inches)
bid or buy here

"Another Cute Calf" (pastel, 8x8 inches)
I invite you to follow along with each painting of January! If you
haven't yet, you can "join for free" on my Patreon
to follow the public
posts, or you can sign up for my website's New Art Alerts.
A Blessed New Year to you, and I hope you enjoy my paintings!

These "Layering the Light" pastel workshops will teach you how to
infuse your painting with the feeling of warm sunlight. You will learn
to nail your values using an acrylic-based underpainting, then identify
and utilize color temperatures to make your painting glow!
Focus will be on frequent small works for more rapid improvement.
From adventurous beginners to advanced pastelists.
Coming Soon! - A 3-day Online workshop hosted by the PSWC.
Learn from the comfort of your own home!
