Laramie Art Guild hosts Chuck Egnaczak

                   Chuck Egnaczak from Works of Wyoming

presented the LAG with two sessions discussing 

The Business of Art.

Chuck gave the members of the LAG
pointers on self-promotion, approaching galleries, as well as
pros & cons of websites, blogs, and Facebook
accounts.

Egnaczak's dynamic personality got all the members 
of our guild involved in his presentation and started us
thinking about our individual goals.

Chuck asked each member questions 
to make sure that everyone
interacted with him and other members of the guild.

The Laramie Art Guild hired a senior gentleman to pose as a cowboy for this month's modeling session. This is the preliminary underpainting on a 16"x 20" acrylic painting on canvas. Modeling sessions are the 3rd Saturday of each month from 10am-noon, Room 110 at LCCC in Laramie. Models are provided free of charge for all guild members.

George in Green

George posed for the LAG again this month. I realized after I started painting that I had not brought any blues whatsoever and I had only permanent green light. Most of this was rendered in Burnt umber, burnt sienna, cadmium red light, yellow ochre & permanent green light. Upon returning to the studio I mixed phthalo blue and burnt umber together to form the darkest darks.

Today 4 members of the LAG, Tony & Sandra Guzzo, Joanne Ramsey, Jeanie Schlump and a guest, Adam Adkison painted our model during a 2-hour session. This is Jeanie Schlump's acrylic in progress. Because no one finished, we took some reference photos and will complete the portrait from a photo-reference shot. Live observation of the model is always good practice and preferable to copying photos.
