Let’s Get Painting!
It was time. Time to get out the big canvas and get out into the field. And today was the day.
The Old Casale, Work in Progress80x65 cm, Oil on Linen©Kelly MedfordYou may recognize this place, I’ve painted it many times over and was just waiting to get this big canvas out into the field.Now that my 120 Day Project is finished, it’s time to get big and step into what’s next. I must admit that getting out with this canvas was daunting, I’ve been looking at this blank canvas for months in my studio just waiting for its turn to come. When the time came though I felt both nervous and excited, but tacked it onto my easel and headed out the door.In the upcoming months I’ll be sharing larger paintings as they come off the easel and more about my process. I’m really looking forward to it!Upcoming Exhibition:Roman LandscapesGroup Exhibition with Giovanni Ragone and Olha PryymakStudio-9Vicolo della Moretta, 9RomeOpening Reception Friday, May 10 7 p.m.Upcoming Workshops:Sketching Rome TourSpend 3 hours in the streets and parks of Rome learning the art of sketchbook journalingNext dates are Friday, May 10 and Saturday, May 11Click here for details or to join usCityscaping in RomeJuly 1-5, 2013Join us for a week of capturing the streets of Rome in oilsTo learn more click hereArt of the Painted SketchAugust 21-28, 2013Spend a week in a restored Umbrian Villa and learn the painted oil sketch step-by-step.All inclusive and just gorgeous, this is the perfect relaxed setting to get a handle on plein air oil sketching.Spots are limited, just 2 left!Click here for detailsThe Light and Life of VeniceOctober 12-20, 20138 days of painting the light and life of Venice, every painter’s dream!I will be co-teaching with watercolorist Helen Beacham, exploring Venice in all of its delightJust 3 spots left for oil painters!For details or to join us, click here
