Erin has been so diligent at posting about her amazing watercolour class, so I thought it was about time I did a post on my class too. I am learning about the wonderful art of oil painting, it’s so much fun. It’s so nice to try a new medium after painting in watercolour for such a long time – I feel like I have learnt so much in such a short amount of time…

I am so excited about the Omega NY conference weekend coming up in NYC. The Omega Center in Rhinebeck is a place of healing, wellness and growth. Their mission is to awaken the best in the human spirit through innovative education. I have signed up for Kris Carr‘s lectures for the weekend and can’t wait to soak up all of her juicy knowledge!

I think my favourite part of learning watercolour are these small ‘practice’ sheets that sit beside me as I paint… I love the random beauty and unexpected forms. This one came about while I was sitting outside painting tulips on the weekend (I’m not showing you the tulips… not my finest hour… but practice makes perfect!)

Landscapes of the Four Seasons
Last week in my watercolour class we went to The Met to take inspiration from the masters… we visited Monet, Picasso, Van Gogh, Rousseau and Cezanne (aaaah delightful…) but then went on to the Chinese wing. It was staggering, to say the least. Fu Baoshi left me in this strange, dreamlike daze… I’ve included a few of my favourite pieces and if you’re interested, the NY times wrote a great article about his exhibit.

In keeping with our new years resolutions, we’re each taking a class at various institutions around New York and learning all sorts of new skills. I’ve just started taking Watercolour classes at The New School and am having a ball! Here is a sneak peak at my homework for this week, which involves painting out gradients of each hue. I’m not quite finished… no copying! Hehe.
