Healing Waters, stream with flowers

"Healing Waters Again"

(original class demo)

Created this for the kids summer art program last June (2016).  We used it to create knife paintings.  (This painting was not done with a palette knife.)  Students toned their canvases with base colors of browns and blues with a large flat brush first, then added colors over the top with a knife.  It was a great lesson in texture.

original demo

(Prints are available with or without scripture)

Did this as a demo during class, we made it up as we went along, which is challenging but fun.  Started with titanium white, cadmium yellow, and a small amount of naphthol crimson. 

First, we painted the center of the canvas (mixing on the canvas), then added some naphthol crimson with white for the clouds (which needed more yellow mixed in). 

Then we mixed dioxazine purple and ultramarine blue with white for a nice temperature (cool) contrast. We let it dry and then added a second layer. 

The black was painted last, it has bits of orange and green mixed in.  

This is a great lesson on blending and mixing. Hint: use small amounts of darker colors, as they will eat up the light colors.

Poured Out, waterfall, knife painting, class demo

"Poured Out"

Created this painting with palette knives with my students.  Knives are harder for little hands to paint with, but the interesting textures and colors are exciting for them to discover.  It was a tough project, but we had great results! 

ENJOY!

Green Parrot, pet portrait

"Green Parrot"

©Fawn McNeill 2008

I drew this guy freehand, then did an under painting in black and white. This was a study in complimentary colors.  Corrected quite a few errors as I painted the under painting. Then I went in with green and red glazes (added Liquitex semi-gloss medium and varnish to make a transparent glaze) after the under painting was dry. It made him glow.  Adding the red tuft on his head was fun too.

Quenching the Darts, Abstract, knife painting, faith and prayer

"Quenching the Darts" (Ephesians 6:16)

© Fawn McNeill 2008

Just made this palette knife painting available in prints and cards! 

This original knife painting was done alla prima (all in one session) which creates unique mixtures of color and thick texture.  Usually they are fun and exciting to create.  This one, however, came from frustration and cries for mercy.

I cried out to the Almighty as I struggled through marriage problems, (which we didn't know was due to my husband having hydrocephalus and a tumor in the back of his ear canal that was growing into his brain.)  Just a few months later he had the first of two brain surgeries, and he is doing well now.  We have overcome huge obstacles.  I am grateful for the lessons learned and the peace that the Lord gives even in the midst of the struggles.

Dawn's Light, impressionism, palms

"Dawn's Light"
© Fawn McNeill 2008

I painted this alla prima, all in one session. Wet-in-wet, fast and loose . . . so fun to do. Very impressionistic. I saw this little palm tree glowing in the early morning sun, the shadows where intensified by the light. It was so beautiful to me. It reminds me of that feeling when you are out camping and it is hard to make things out with all the shadows, then the sun eats away at the darkness and even seems to bite through some of the objects in its path.

Mountain Air, cabin, river landscape

"Mountain Air"

This painting had a rough start.  It was only half finished as a demo.  The class was large, so I didn't get a chance to do much in the way of demonstrating.  

I played around with it a few more times, adding snow, a cabin, and fog.  I got carried away with the rocks and the water, working over them a few times.  The large tree in the foreground was taken out and added back twice.  Clouds were strengthened and eagles were added too.  

I made it available in print a while ago but I forgot to post the original.
