Workshop News

"Winter Sky" Oil 36 x 24

I taught a wonderful group of 13 students plein air painting in Louisville, Colorado this week.  Despite rain on the last day we painted, laughed and learned a lot!
I have one more Colorado workshop this year (in September) with one space left.
I'll also be teaching plein air on gorgeous Bainbridge Island in June - that class has two spots left.
For more info on these workshops as well as online mentoring and other upcoming events please visit: http://janehuntart.com/workshops



Below: Some photos from last weeks workshop.
I like to put a huge emphasis on the basics - value and composition in particular.
The field study was to demonstrate how three colors plus white can be used to quickly capture the essence of a scene.

Plein Air Convention

I'm proud to announce that I will be a faculty member and demo artist at the Plein Air Convention in Tucson next week April 15 - 19th.

My demonstration will be on Saturday April 16th at 2:15pm.

This amazing event is record breaking and will be the world's largest gathering of plein air painters in one place!

Urban life show

This Friday night from 6 - 9pm at Abend Gallery in Denver is the reception for 'Urban Life'.  This exhibition celebrates and explores the theme of city living.  I am honored to have three pieces in this show - one a Denver skyline, and two from a recent trip to Venice, Italy.

A week in the mountains

Right:  My favorite piece from my recent trip to Walden, Colorado. I painted it during a storm! My easel blew over twice and there was so much dirt on my canvas I had to frantically finish with a knife. "Walden Storm" 8x10 oil

One of the most fun aspects of being an artist is being with good friends in gorgeous locations.
A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of joining twelve women artists for a week in the mountains. We were generously hosted on a 2,000 acre ranch!  Some of these painters are icons I have admired for decades, but they were all so warm and down to earth.  I returned home with eleven paintings, advanced ATV skills, and twelve wonderful new friends!

If you aren't familiar with the work of these talented ladies, I'd highly recommend checking them out!
From front left: Joe Anna Arnett, Teresa Vito, Cindy Briggs, Cindy Baron, Stephanie Hartshorn, Charlie Bogusz, Cathy Goodale-Saunders, Ellie Weakley, Lori McNee, Me, Patsy Callahan, Jean Perry, and Lori Putnam.








Right: We got to cruise all around the ranch on ATV's. Incredible luck to be up there right as the leaves were changing.  Lots of opportunites to paint golden aspen trees!
