I woke up bright and early today with a sense of anticipation…it is the day of our Adult Canvas Art Class sponsored by HeART Studio as part of the SMB’s 1st Anniversary Celebration. Having last dabbled in Art eons ago (when I was a Secondary 4 student), I was thankful for the opportunity to rekindle my love for painting. When I first told the hubs that I would be at HeART Studio on Sunday, his first reaction was, ‘Oh, you signed the daughter up for a class?” I smiled, “No…I signed myself up for a class!” He was surprised but ever so supportive. As I look at the Mommies present today, I was glad that we are able devote some time to ourselves, to indulge in our interests and discover our talents! <\/p>\n
For the lesson today, we were taught to recreate the French Painter, Hughes Claude Pissarro’s Masterpiece: Camille Pissaro Sails<\/b>. It’s a beautiful and tranquil piece of painting.<\/p>\n Using the common oil pastels, we have to complete our painting using this technique of quick, short strokes<\/b> to blend the oil pastel colours on canvas. Teacher Ghaz instructed us to first outline the horizon and the subjects (i.e. the sails) using a pale colour (such as yellow or beige) before we fill in the rest of colours for the sea and the sky. As I started to sketch, memories of my ‘O’ level Art lessons came flooding back…my quirky Art teacher, the scores of still life paintings done week after week…the labourious wood burning project which I nearly gave up…Today, as I set aside time just to paint, I found it therapeutic to colour and blend and let the painting come to life right before my eyes…<\/p>\n\n\n
