6 Days, 10 Palettes, 9 Tables Later....Studio's Almost Ready!
The bulk of the work is finished and I'm ready to start offering classes in my new studio space.
Despite all the thunder storms this week, I was able to finish my studio project. I set up a tent in the back yard to be able to keep building and then used the front porch for the finishing work, mainly the sanding and painting.
Classes start on September 23 and I needed furniture for the students, mainly tables to hold their supplies. I decided to build my own out of reclaimed wood to match the feel of my cottage styled studio in Midtown. I made each table a little different, all about the same height, but I played with the pattern of the wood and made a few full-sized tables as well. I want it to be inviting, a place that students can feel comfortable and creative! So here it is ...6 days, 10 palettes and 9 tables later.
I hope my classes love the new space !

Studio Tables are in the Works
I decided to build the studio furniture for my classes out of reclaimed wood. I love the idea of boycotting plastic and having hand built tables the really match the style of the studio. Decided to go with a distressed blue and white color palette that goes with the venetian plaster and the white molding in the rooms. I think it'll give the space a warm and inviting feel. Hope my students will love it as well!

Work in the Studio
Now that I'm home for a few weeks it's time to get to work in the new DawnArt Studio! I'll start offering classes an workshops here in September. I can't wait to be in this space. First step is getting the carpet up and the floor somewhat clean. Next I'm going to build work tables for the students and maybe if time and YouTube allow, I'll build a few easels as well. I'll keep you posted with the progress.
Happy painting,

Northern Adventures!
A few highlights from my trip. Make sure to check out the cyclist with a dog stand.
Every August I flee the Atlanta heat and head up north for weeks of painting and shows.
I start the month off in Provincetown, MA, with my dear friend Rosemarie. We met in a workshop several years back and now have a standing painting date for the week in P'town. Even with the overcast days this year, the light and ocean were just wonderful. I look forward to this week all year!
After my show in CT and a few days at Rosemarie's house I head over to Pennsylvania for a show and a visit with one of my favorite couples, Art and Margaret Thorn. They are generous enough to put me up for a few days during the show. It's just so much fun hanging out and hearing about how their year has been.
Fortunately the shows were good this year. I sold several big paintings and even won an award this year at Gretna. While that is always great, what makes this trip so special is the time I get to spend with friends.
Until next year!!

Painting the week away in P'Town!
There have been a lot of gray days this year for our annual painting trip, but it has been a great challenge to try to capture the overcast sky. My friend Rosemarie and I spend the first week of August painting away in Provincetown MA, and this is the first year it has rained. The rain has been light and the fog has been beautiful, so I have really enjoyed the challenge..almost as much as hanging out with one of my favorite painting peeps, Rosemarie Mendes!!

Plein Air History
Here is a great article I came across and thought I'd share it.
By Jean Stern
Executive Director
The Irvine Museum
Artists at Laguna Beach Art Association Exhibition, c. 1918
The Irvine Museum, Courtesy of Barbara and Molly BingAs an art historian, looking back at photos of plein air history excites me. Though we see a past when women wore bonnets and men painted in three-piece suits, these people were simply living their lives as painters. Yet when I study this photo, I see the faces of painters whose names are legendary, whose paintings are highly collectable, and whom collectors and museums clamor to own. Yet I suspect these people never considered themselves names that would go down in history. Like most of you, they just loved to paint and wanted to express themselves by creating their best work.
Barn in the Fog, c. 1925
Sam Hyde Harris
Oil on canvas, 16 x 20 in.
Private collectionToday, you and I are meeting painters who will be considered the greats of our generation. In fact, one of them might be you. I'm sure that people like Alson S. Clark or Sam Hyde Harris never thought that anyone would look back to them as among the great painters of their time. Just as one day art historians will look back on the photos of our gatherings today and marvel at the way things used to be. Instead of a gathering watching Alfred Mitchell do a demo, it will be photos marveling over people like those on the faculty at this year's Plein Air Convention.
Alson S. Clark painting near Lone Pine, CA, c. 1922
Courtesy of the Estate of Alson S. ClarkOne of the best things that an artist can do to advance their art is to be in the company of other artists. The opportunity to meet other artists, to talk to them, and to watch them work is of the highest benefit to anyone working to improve their art. This is been the case ever since artists began to congregate and form art associations. There is real value to working around other artists, to watch them work and to see how they solve problems that are routinely encountered in painting. There is an immeasurable benefit to painters being influenced by other painters, watching their demonstrations, and being along side others to see how they interpret the same scene.
Alfred Mitchell Teaching Plein Air Class, c. 1928
The Irvine MuseumThe Plein Air Convention offers just that, and over the past two years, hundreds of artists have taken advantage of the opportunity. The photos you see online today are the historical photos of the future, and painters will look back on them, wishing they could have lived in those times, and met and talked with the people they consider the greats. Anybody who is anybody in plein air is on the faculty or attending this important historical event, and as a historian I believe it has great significance to the plein air movement.I'm pleased that this year, in response to numerous requests, the convention is offering specific tracks for watercolor and pastel painters. This makes the convention meaningful to a larger number of artists, not just to oil painters.I am not an artist; I am an art historian and a museum director who specializes in historical plein air paintings. But I take advantage of any opportunity to learn about the wonderful craft of plein air painting. Understanding what an artist does to create a masterwork of landscape adds immensely to my ability to recognize a great painting from the past. Representational art has been around for centuries, and artists of the past faced the same challenges that artists face today: developing drawing skills, constructing proper perspective structure, learning effective compositional methods, understanding line and color, and the many other tools and approaches artists have had to master. I cannot go back and ask the masters of the past to see how they handled these things, but I can talk to a great artist of today, and watch how he or she solves difficult problems right in front of my eyes. I value any contact I can have with great artists, and the Plein Air Convention offers me the chance to meet with them on a grand scale.
Ruth Peabody (right) and a watercolor painter working en plein air, c. 1935
Courtesy of Kevin CourterI have always believed that landscape painting is the noblest form of pictorial representation, and that plein air painting is its truest expression. I certainly will be at the Plein Air Convention. This will be the third year that I've attended. I wouldn't think of missing it.
Hundreds of artists line the Monterey coast at Asilomar Beach
during the 2013 Plein Air Convention.If you are on the fence about attending, I can tell you that it's better than I initially expected and is a phenomenal event. Where else can you see a beach with hundreds of painters working side by side, or more than 70 top-tier artists doing demonstrations in the field or onstage? It's not only a learning experience, it's a life experience, and you'll be a part of history. I believe that each year the convention has broken the world's record for the largest number of people painting together in one place at one time. It's truly an amazing experience.And though it might sound intimidating, I've been impressed with how everyone attending is embraced by the faculty members, no matter whether they are first-time plein air painters or experienced pros. Everyone is very giving at this event, and the spirit of the event is all about growing as painters and producing quality artwork.History will remember this event, and the people who attended will tell their grandchildren about meeting and painting with people who became legends, and about being a part of the largest paint-out in history. I suspect history books will speak of it and publish photos from the Plein Air Convention so people can look back at what things were like in the "old days." I'll be there for sure, and I look forward to meeting you there.Jean Stern

"Homecoming" 36x36 on Square Market
Burst into Spring 16x20
This is a new plein air painting and I'm pretty happy with the turn out. It's a 16 x 20, so I went back 3 times to work on it before finishing. I look forward to working on larger pieces in plein air!
Happy Painting,
Dawn
Color Workshop this Sunday 10 - 3:00
Color 1 - Paint with Confidence on Square Market
Paint with Color Confidence! Sunday JuLy 20, 10 – 3:00.
Have you been struggling trying to controlling color in your art? Do you mix a lot of mud? Well, no more. This class will have you painting with color confidence. This class is not just about making a color wheel. You will create a painting class using your new color knowledge.
You will learn about pure color and why it is so important, how to bend a color, how to use the color wheel to lighten and darken your colors, and more. The first half of the workshop will demonstrate the color mixing lessons, then students will be able to apply their new knowledge to create a painting. I will be teaching the class in oils, but you may use acrylics. Contact me if working in acrylic or any other questions. dawn@dawnart.com Please bring something for a quick lunch and drinks. Refrigerator and stove available.
