Artists, Teacher Studio Opportunity!

From Deb Clarke;

I’m looking at this loft space in Gloucester MA to open the Debbie Clarke “School for Drawing” and studios.  There are 2 private studios that will be available for short term/long term rental and teaching space available to artists to rent for workshops, etc.  I would like to move in June 1st.  So, if you are looking for short term or long term studio space, please contact me as soon as possible to discuss your needs.  This is a second floor space with west light.  The windows work, so there is ventilation.  I am an oil painter and am looking for other painters, teachers.  email to me at elli01930@yahoo.com

The Easy Art of Meditation Saturday 4pm-5pm

I don’t recommend things easily.

But I took Annette Dions Meditation class last month at the Cape Ann Healing Center and since then I’ve been Meditating Daily. It really does help you Focus and relax. It’s also helps bring down your blood pressure. Working with GMG’S Joey I found out I really needed it!

I found a lot of free Guided Meditation Mp3s on Apple Itunes site That help you stay focused breathing. It’s also fun.

Beginning Painting 1 by Deb Clarke

 “Painters who are not colorists produce illumination and not painting….color gives the appearance of life.”

Monday, February 23, 1852 from the Journals of Eugene Delacroix,  French Painter

Beginning Painting

The Equipment

a portable easel

for beginners I recommend 3 colors:  cad yellow medium, grumbacher red, cobalt blue and white, a small jar of oil painting medium and some gessoed boards, a few brushes (boar bristle is fine)

if you try painting and want to continue, you will want to invest in more colors, brushes, medium and an easel for outdoor painting

Here is My Paint Box and supplies;

French Easel Draw with supplies
