Piccolo Spoleto Outdoor Art Show -Day 10 -Sunday, June 6, 2010

Hot but breezy today, lots of people wandering around the Art Show in Marion Square.
 
These were heading for the free art demonstration!

We had 2 art demonstrations today - both were lowcountry marshes and yet so different because artists are different and infuse something of themselves in each painting. Two fine artists, two fine demos, two fine paintings in progress.

The first demonstration was by Kevin LePrince who also has a blog on his website - Kevin also has a gift of marketing - he advertises on his blog, "buy a painting - get a free ice water" (Kevin LePrince, May 28, 2010)

Kevin is well on his way with his Lowcountry marsh in oil

Kevin's stopping point for the day.

Later this afternoon, Christie Crosby begins her demonstration.  She had already completed an underpainting  in cadmium red:

while Nancy Newton, aspiring artist, enjoys what amounts to a free art lesson!
 
 Christie's stopping place for today.

I went down to Laurie Meyer's booth twice today and have 2 updates on her painting demonstration from yesterday:
The earlier version is below but you can see in the later version on the right, Laurie has begun to define some of the shapes further and lighten colors. However, hints of the red and orange underpainting still peek through and glow in several places.  Will continue the updated pictures as she develops the painting.
 
And speaking of orange, I was walking back to my booth and this was a picture waiting to happen. 

Orange is a Power Color
or I guess I didn't get the memo since I was dressed in black and white...
