Cynthia Jeffrey: Alla Prima of sauvies island last year. I tried to keep it loose.

Tara Kemp: "Solstice View", 8x10", oil on canvas. From a Saturday paintout. We were fighting the drizzle a bit, but it made for a nice, misty, atmospheric view.
Joanne Kollman: Broad strokes !
Susan Kuznitsky: 'Laundry Day' pastel 11 x 14 – (started as a demo for my Zoom class).
Anna Lancaster: This was a failed 16x20 plein air last October, saved by instruction and direction in bold strokes from teacher Za Vue.
Robin Laughlin: For the broad strokes prompt. My biggest yet at 28x24 on canvas. Big brushes are fun!
Diane Bestor: I tried painting looser for this portrait. I used a larger brush and painted over a canvas I already had painted on. I looked for shapes of color and temperature within the contours of the face. Thank you Za Vue for helping me learn to paint shapes and turn color with temperature instead of filling in the space with smooth strokes...also looking for reflective color and value. I had no idea how many colors there were within the face!

Peggie Moje: Rooster Rock State Park - Oil - 12x16"
Louisa Moutos: broad strokes Self portrait
Loralee Newman: Quick “Gussie” oil sketch
Pamela Orazio-Mlady: Quick little study in my backyard.
Mike Porter: 1. Here's the scene and my interpretation of it (see photo in the people shots below). The deeply textured and weathered siding of the barn challenged me. I just could not bring myself to go as dark a value as it was in real life. Done en plein air and touched up this morning from yesterday's paint out with Jim Syfert. (Out on Sauvie Island. A great day to paint outdoors) 2. A piece I did out at TV Wildlife Refuge. 11x15. Good to brush up my plein air skills which I always need !
Chris Rectenwald: 1. Professor Green, painted for Portrait Artist of the Week, Sky TV. I set my alarm for 2am (10am London time) Sunday morning so I could take screen shots from which to paint. Oils 11x14. 2. Last painting for Portrait Artist of the Week. All the subjects were very different.
Donna Sanson: I painted this on an Erik Sandgren paint out at the Oregon coast and it's always been a favorite of mine. It hangs in our family room and is a reminder of the allure and beauty of the coastline, even on an overcast day. I had just started using acrylics at the time so I worked quickly to keep the paint from drying out - and because it was cold and damp. I'm sure that's why my brush strokes are bolder. Without realizing it then, I think now that the broader strokes worked to capture the massive scale of the rocks and the strength and power of the sea. It's an acrylic on canvas and I call it, "A Sculpture by Mother Nature."
Eunice Sause: I often use broad strokes in my paintings !
David Savinar: 1. Oil 2. Pen / ink
George Schweser: This is my drawing that sold in the Pittock Mansion Show. In keeping with the topic, expressive,bold strokes, to me as a draughtsman, means having confidence to put down a mark ( paint or pencil ) and leaving it. Whatever your medium, commit to your idea and use the appropriate technique
Karen Shawcross: "Shore Thing", soft pastels 11x14.
Nancy Smith-Klos: 1.Sunflowers Coffee Contour Pen and ink on 11 x 14" paper 2. Sunflowers...Coffee Contour Pen and ink with wc. on 11 x 14" paper 3. Willows 8 x 10" sumi.e painting Ink and wc. on paper
Linda Sprau: “Happy Trails” acrylic on canvas, from 1950’s black and white photo of my late friend and background I made up.
Quin Sweetman: Roses from my garden, 14x11”. I was practicing using thicker paint.
Jim Syfert: 1. 8x8 oil “Cherry Cordial”. Just finished this morning. Challenging in many ways, but push through and had fun. Stay safe and healthy! 2. Broad Strokes....... quick 9x12 still life....put the strokes down and keep them bold and colorful. About 30 minutes and not fussing with it. 3. Ventured out to the Tualatin Valley Wildlife Refuge to do a quick study. Just a little 6x8 oil. Felt good to be outside on a beautiful day. 4. Broad strokes.....and bold. Very little bending and smoothing things out. Quick 8x10 oil still life while listening the The Eagles Farewell 1 Tour (disc 1). Goal was to finish the painting during the time of the music. Even had a few minutes to watch some of the video.
Joanne Thorpe: Here’s some broad pallet knife strokes. I think I would like to redo this with regular brushstrokes someday but the pallet knife goes so fast and gives me ideas for a finished painting. This is from a photo that I took at Oakwood Gardens at our paint out last year.
Kathy Towne: 1. Broad strokes. Just finished this painting of the Stanislaus River from a tutorial by Kathleen Dunphy, one of my favorite Plein air/landscape artists. I love her limited palette and all the tips she offers during this tutorial as well. This is an 11x14” oil on canvas. 2. Just finished this painting, called, "Rue de Carces'", painted from a reference photo I took while on a trip there in 2015. It is a 28x22" oil on canvas.

————————————————————————
Next Zoom meeting is Thursday Thursday July 2 10am (next week)!
The TOPIC is Your brushwork: (How would you rate your current brushwork)?
This is a meeting that you have to plan and prepare for.
In this meeting we are not going to be holding something up to the camera. We’re asking you to email the image in advance.
Send one good brushwork example* to allaprimaportland@gmail.com with “ZOOM JULY 2” in the subject line. Please send before 5pm on July 1.
*We don’t mean a close up, send the entire painting image, we’ll share the painting onscreen with the zoom share screen feature and discuss each participant’s painting. Be prepared to talk about features of your current brushwork.
Structured Zoom meetings* are now once a month (the first Thursday of every month at 10am).
The new format requires that you email one image of a painting of yours that best fits the Topic.
*We will still do “occasional social zooms” every now and then just for fun, but they’re going to be on random dates, so please
Always check facebook and the notes in each weeks blog for dates and times. If you get weekly emails from me you’ll get an invitation to each Zoom meeting.
If you don’t think you are on the list and want to be, email allaprimaportland@gmail.com
