MANLY MACDONALD WORKSHOP


Oil on canvas12x12" Sold/Vendido
Oil on canvas 6x8
The last Saturday of September ad the two first Saturdays of October, i will be teaching a workshop on the Canadian impressionist Manly MacDonald.
The Parrott Gallery in town has an extensive collection of this artist , each of the students will have a painting of Manly for three Saturdays to copy  under my instructions. 
This two paintings above are copies I did myself in order to understand and also to measure the timing that will take to do them. I have to say that his paintings are a bit muddy due to the bad varnishes and the pass of time plus also he always paint outdoors, non the less there are so many things to learn from this great artist.

FIXING AN OLD MURAL


                               
  
working the inside of the arch
I did this Mural four years ago, and because the cold and the natural elements it was peeling a lot, plus the color was disappearing, so i fix it. I change the image inside the arch and add a green sign , plus fix all the spots that were peeling .
Hice este mural hace cuatro anos, pero debido a la temperaturas canadienses, el mural se estaba pelando y perdiendo el color en muchas partes, asi que lo he arreglado. he cambiado la imagen de dentro del arco, tambien he anadido un letreto en fondo verde, y pintado todas las partes que se estaban plelando.
