Plein Air Setups

The October 4, 2014 meeting of PSST was all about plein air. Linda Dellandre presented a slideshow illustrating plein air paintings, emphasizing the use of thumbnails and notan and showing examples of great compositions.

Caroline Ratliff showed her complete plein air setup, with a laugh that "you don't need a wheelbarrow." She carries all of her supplies in a backpack with her lightweight easel on a shoulder.

Products for a wish list:
Foldup chair with back
Umbrella that attaches to chair (target has inexpensive one)

Linda Dellandre Workshop

9/7/2014

"What a fun day!   Pastels in motion, colors flying, laughter, sighs, sharing and all the things that we artists love."  That was how one artist felt after a full day with PSST members. Linda Dellandre presented a non-stop instructional demo, with a hands-on afternoon workshop. Two (of many) tips to super painting: use side strokes and "it's never going to pop unless you have enough dark."

Tell Me You Are An Artist

Hands down agreement with Brian Sherwin of FASO: the best place to sell art online is your own website. Brian says, "USE IT. Keep it updated regularly. Direct people to your website as often as you can. Furthermore, you need -- no, you must have -- your own domain!"

And surprise, these are main talking points in the PSST presentation for the April 5 PSST meeting. Mark your calendar and meet up at Jerry's Artarama Houston as Carolyn Hancock  presents Tell Me You Are An Artist: Social Media and Blogging.
