Been awfully busy!

I know I haven't posted fir a while, but all is well! I've been teaching private and group art lessons since my last post. It's almost Christmas now, and it's snowing like crazy outside. I wish all of you Peace, Joy and Love in your life in the coming year!

Come to New Hampshire Open Doors in Exeter NH!

I will have a total of 8 pieces hung, between the 2 venues. Come see my artwork! This piece is colored pencil and the title is "Off-Key". Also check out my giclée prints and greeting cards!

New Hampshire Open Doors invites you to all come and view various artist and craft studios this weekend. Seacoast Artist Association will have 2 openings on Friday the 4th, 2017, one for Kevin Talbot, photographer, and one for Small Works.

It's a glorious day outside!

I've been working on this drawing in charcoal for a while. It's on Duralar Matte. It's wonderfully smooth with just a hint of tooth, so it accepts charcoal, colored pencils and all kinds of paint. I get mine on DickBlick.com. You should try this surface!

If you'd like to get updates to my blog, please sign up, and please leave comments!

New Classes are coming up soon to help you make the Season Bright!

How would you like to make your gifts at home, instead of trolling around the mall aimlessly? If you learned to draw from scratch, or learned to draw with colored pencils, you could! I have both classes coming up on Tuesday, September 20th. Colored Pencil starts at 10:30 am-12:30 pm and Learn to Draw starts the same day from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. Both classes will be held at Seacoast Artist Association in Exeter NH. You can email me at rtaillon@comcast.net and I will send you an email flyer for the classes you want to take.

CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE IT.

New Learn to Draw Class begins September 2, 2014, Colored Pencil Class starts September 4, 2014

I am offering a Pastel Painting for Beginners Class, starts April 17th 2014

This is a soft pastel painting class for those of you who have never tried this wonderful medium, and those of you who tired it years ago and would like a refresher course on the basics. This class will introduce you to pastels and you will see how quickly they go down on the surface, and how brilliant the effects are of these pure colors. Each class will start with some information on pastel painting including: how to make different marks: linear or side strokes; several ways to blend colors on the paper; how to fix your painting before framing. Pastels are very versatile and it is easy to create simple or complex paintings. We will concentrate on landscapes such as fields, mountains, and salt marshes for this class.

What to bring: Sennilier Half-Stick Soft Pastels set of 20
assorted half-sticks, Prismacolor NuPastel set of 12, Colourfix Pastel Paper (warm tone pack 9” X 12”), vine charcoal (soft), painting board (to tape drawing paper to), roll of paper towels or rags, paper stumps and an old artist paintbrush (1" wide) for blending, Artist tape 3/4” wide or masking tape. I have set up a Wish List on www.DickBlick.com with the recommended supplies, but you may substitute these with soft pastels of your choice. Once you sign up for the class I will email you the link to this Wishlist. Do NOT buy “Oil” pastels by mistake. We will not be using them in class. You may want to wear clothing you do not mind getting dirty.

Class starts: Thursday, April 17, 2014, and runs for 5 weeks, 10:30am to 1:30pm with a short break. Cost is $135.00. 10% of each tuition is donated to the SAA Art Scholarship Fund.

To hold your spot please mail a check directly to: Revelle Taillon, 26 West Pine Street, Plaistow, NH 03865. For more information: 603-382-3397 or email Revelle at rtaillon@comcast.net.
