Painting can be viewed and purchased at Aritsans Harbor, 188 Main St. in Old Saybrook, CT. Wed - Sat from noon to 5pm and Sundays 10:30- 2pm.

"Winter Light" Watercolor Painted as a Demonstration in my Class

"Winter Light"

The watercolor shown here is a demonstration painting done at one of my recent watercolor classes. This painting is done using a pouring technique and then is finished with direct painting. The students worked along with me step by step while I was painting. Pouring paint is a different approach to watercolor painting and is usually new to people in the class and can be a lot of fun.

My next class starts Jan 14 through Feb 18, 2012 at Artisans Harbor in Old Saybrook, CT. Contact me via email through my About page here on this blog or Artisans Harbor directly 860-388-9070.

Painting the Detail on Watch Hill Merry Go Round Oil Painting on Canvas

The Watch Hill, Rhode Island oil painting of the merry go round and Napa Tree Point is coming along. I am working on the detail around the carousel area. Adding more detail to the carousel itself and the kids riding the merry-go-round. The photo below is just a small area on this large 40 inch by 40 inch oil painting on canvas.

This Saturday from 4:30 - 7pm is a gallery opening with art demonstrations at Artisans Harbor in Old Saybrook. It's a free event and a unique way to enjoy your happy hour on Saturday evening!  I will be demonstrating watercolor painting during the opening. My next watercolor class starts March 19th here at Artisans Harbor 188 Main Street in Saybrook, CT
Hope to see you Saturday!

P.J. Cook
