My View of Life on the Dock
I’m not sure if they are making it a regular thing every Sunday morning but perhaps Debbie will give us the details. You may recognize the goofy looking guy in the picture directly below as our very own Cape Ann Painter- Paulie Walnuts.
“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;
Here’s my french easel set-up for painting:
a few big brushes, a few rounds, maybe a filbert, a small brayer.
My colors:
cad yellow light
lemon yellow
cad yellow medium
yellow ochre
raw sienna
burnt sienna
grumbacher red (napthol red)
alizarin crimson
pthalo green
winsor blue (pthalo blue)
cobalt blue
ultramarine blue
grumbacher pre-test white, original formula (titanium white)
medium: 1 part stand oil, 1 part damar, 1 part turp
thinner for cleaning brushes

Due to weather conditions the class was held in Deb Clarke’s House. There were three students; Tom, Liz and myself.
Spot Color Painting was the assignment. Spot color painting is where you pick a color and relate that color to the rest of the painting. Debbie began by giving a spot color demonstration. Tom picked a scene outside one of Deb’s windows, Liz picked a hanging candle lamp and I picked a high shelf with three colored wine glasses and two silver pictures. Deb’s Knowledge of art, painting and color instincts are very inspiriring. The two hours flew by. I can’t wait for next week! Anyone whoever has thought about taking up painting should give it try. Twentyfive dollars is a great deal for the infomation you receive.

It’s been far too long since I’ve visited buddy Christina’s Bowsprite- A New York Harbor Sketchbook
I love her illustrations and stories and I suspect if you dig GMG you will love her blog too.
I’ve been encouraging Christina to apply for a stint at the Rocky Neck gallery because I just know the work she would do with our industrial ships would be such a treasure. I’m not sure if she followed through with her application but it would be a real treat for all of us.
