<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've been busy in the very small studio space that I have created for myself. I did another poured watercolor of my watercolor paint tubes. If you follow me on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lredheadart/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, you would have seen the photos of each pour. If not, you can see the step-by-step process below. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I did 4 pours on this painting. The letters on some of the tubes were too small to try to mask around. So after I pulled off all the mask, I did paint in some of those smaller letters. </span></div>

<br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;"> I have always had an affection for dinosaurs and even considered a career as a scientific illustrator of dinosaur bones. While at university in Utah, I spent some time cleaning and caring for dinosaur bones as I pursued my degree in Zoology. Upon graduation, I continued to work with dinosaur bones and taught biology classes at the Natural History Museum of Utah. It was at the museum that I worked with the Utah State paleontologist and discovered that the illustration of dinosaur bones was not for me. Too much math was involved and a move to Boston diverted me from the pursuit. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;"> However, I still enjoyed dinosaurs (and still do) and painted a few for fun. In 2003, I was approached by Cogstone Resource Management, a California based company, and asked to create an illustration for their Christmas card. Cogstone is a paleontology company that specializes in the removal of dinosaur bones from construction sites. I, of course, was excited by the idea of painting more dinosaurs. After some sketches, the idea for an illustration of a stegosaurus with poinsettias was conceived. </span><em style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;">Passion for Poinsettias </em><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;">is the finished illustration.</span>Leslie Lambert Redhead http://www.blogger.com/profile/18421003396799018798noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8373083240507967238.post-91959312695719185992019-12-10T11:27:00.000-08:002019-12-10T11:27:00.735-08:00Maddie and Cameron: A Portrait Commission<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> This summer, I was commissioned by some family members to paint a portrait of my Great Aunt Lois, who is my mother's aunt and my grandmother's sister. It was her children that commissioned me to paint the portrait. The portrait was to be done from a black and white photograph of her at the age of 18. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> My great aunt is now 93 years old and is still very active. She spends half the year on cruises, sightseeing the world. I was honored that her children asked me to paint a portrait of their mother and of one of my favorite aunts. Of course I wanted to change the photograph by adding color to it. I did want the painting the fade out into a gray, as if the painting were a memory coming to life. I also painted it on handmade paper to help give it a vintage look. I didn't know the color of the dress and was pleased to discover that it was the color I painted it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> I was excited to discover that I would be able to present the painting to her at the family reunion where she proceeded to tell the story behind the photograph. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> Lois explained that the photograph was taken just after she had graduated high school from a small town in Southeastern Idaho. This was when many of her friends had enlisted in the navy and had been shipped off to Europe or Japan to fight in the war (WWII). Lois wanted to cheer them up and to remind them of her so she got all dressed up and wore a special bracelet with an anchor on it (unfortunately I did not know this nor was I told about this) just for the photograph. Lois mentioned that she sent the photograph to these boyfriends hoping they would remember her and write her back. She did get one reply back from a farm boy she liked very much. The reply was that the photo reminded him of home and he could smell the country air and the manure when he saw it. Lois said that she never wrote that boy again. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<i> </i><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Recently I have been feeling like I have hit a reset button and am starting all over with my career and my life. It feels a little scary and frustrating at times but also liberating when I realize that I can now experiment all I want. One thing I have been experimenting with is size. I definitely want to go bigger, which is something I did discover a few years ago, but format and composition are something I continue to work with. It can be experimented with much easier on a smaller scale. Since my time in this area is limited, as is my space, I am sticking with the smaller studies. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Another thing I am experimenting with is technique and how to paint snow. Since I lived for many years in an area that didn't get much snow as well as the fact that I use to hate snow, I don't have many photo references to work from. I now live in a cold and sometimes snowy area and need to come to terms with it and make friends with cold and snow. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> For this painting I did a lot of experimentation to get the look of frost and snow. I didn't want to use masking fluid because it can leave behind hard lines. I wanted a softer look to the painting and had to be creative with what I used to keep that look. I also worked in wet-in-wet almost the whole time, starting with wetting the whole paper and keeping it moist as I painted. I use salt quite often and continued to use it here. A medicine dropper was used to add big water drops, a spray bottle to add little drops, and bleach. Yes, bleach. I had heard it can be used so I tried it. I was hoping it would create a big water drop look and also lighten some areas that got too dark for me. It didn't create quite the effect I had hoped it would but at least I gave it a shot. </span></div>

I am currently writing this from Moses Lake, Washington. I have this wonderful opportunity to be able to explore and paint the Columbia Wildlife Refuge and surrounding areas, which is just outside of Moses Lake. The sunsets here are stunning and adds color to an otherwise bleak landscape. By the looks of it, you would never know that there is so much wildlife in the area. It is mostly miles and miles of sagebrush. However, there are also thousands of birds and apparently there is a Sandhill Crane festival in the spring. Something to look forward to. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I use to paint on a daily basis and got out of the habit recently with all the changes that have been happening and with my focus being on my online course. To warm up my painting muscles, I decided to do a quick study of one of the area's stunning sunsets. While watching and photographing the sky, I noticed a few mule deer sneaking past me and got some in the shot. Couldn't resist adding her to the painting. </div>

My studio will still be located with a view of the lake, just beside the house. </span></span></div>

<br />
It's finally here! I've finally done it! I have published my first online course and it's a free one!<br />
<br />
It is a watercolor painting of willow leaves using negative painting techniques. In the course I teach the basics of negative painting in a step-by-step tutorial. This course has been months in the making as I navigated how to film and how to set up the website and material to make it easier for you. It was a learning curve for sure. And just like with painting, persistence is key.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This past year I had the opportunity to work with a high school art club to create a mural in Declo, Idaho. Declo is a very small town of only 300 people. Most of the kids at the school come from the surrounding farms and area. It is a very close knit community full of ranchers and cowboys. It is also the town you pass through on your way to City of Rocks in Southern Idaho, which is a well known rock climbing and tourist attraction. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The idea was first proposed to city council at the beginning of the school year by the students. City Council really liked the idea and agreed to help in any way possible. It was then up to the students to find a business that would donate a wall to the art club. There aren't too many businesses to choose from in Declo but fortunately the main wall in town was donated. It is the butcher shop and can be seen just as you enter the town. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The art club students organized themselves into groups that designed proposals for the wall. These proposals were presented before a panel of judges. There were 5 proposals presented and the judges requested that parts of 3 of them be included on the wall. The students then had to work together to create another design that incorporated all of the ideas. In the meantime, the art club also organized a fundraiser for Valentines Day which was handmade cards and candy grams. The Declo Lions Club generously contributed the bulk of the money for the wall to the art club with the request that we put their logo on the wall. This was another design challenge for the students. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once the weather started to get better (which is rare in Idaho) the students began work on the wall. Our art club president, who also happened to be one of the main designers of the wall, organized and delegated tasks for the different students. She worked almost nonstop on the mural. The painting itself took 4 weeks for the students to complete. Unfortunately it rained the last week of school and we were not able to photograph the art club until the last day of school which means the seniors are not in the photo. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Here is the mural with the art club. I am just so proud of them all. They did an amazing job and I hope that someday they will be able to show their kids the wall that they painted.<br />

Last Friday night I was awarded the wonderful award of Best in Show/Juror's Award at the Idaho Watercolor Society's Annual Show. I was just blown away and so glad that I made the time to go.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You see, I wasn't planning on going. I was moving the next day to Washington State to be with my new love and fiancee. There was just so much to do as we had to be on the road by Saturday evening. Plus I had seen several pieces that were in the show and thought, "Oh there is no way I will be a winner! There are way too many wonderful pieces that deserve the award!" However, I got a call that I received an award earlier in the week. I was surprised but knew that there would be 20 awards given. So my next thought was that it was one that received a small gift or gift card which could probably be mailed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
However, I did want to meet the juror, Iain Stewart, whose work I just love and admire, and it might be one of the few times I could make it to an IWS reception since I was moving. I invited my son to attend the reception and awards ceremony with me and was happy that he wanted to go. Upon arrival, I was still amazed at all the incredible pieces and decided it was a much better show than I previously thought. As requested, Iain Stewart gave me a critique. He even asked if I was sure I wanted a critique Of course I did! He only had good things to say which surprised me and I thought that made me night and was ready to go home right then and there. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was a good ceremony with Iain discussing what he looked for in a winning piece. I waited anxiously to see which award I got, and the countdown started. The awards kept being handed out and my name was not being called! At one point I thought that maybe they missed me. But no! I got the grand prize of Best in Show!! It was so exciting and felt so wonderful, especially after hearing what Iain looked for in a winner. It was also so very validating as an artist to have your work seen and recognized. Thank you Iain and thank you IWS for the amazing honor. </div>

<br />
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to create a how to video with Opus Art Supplies in British Columbia, Canada showing how I pour my watercolours using Winsor & Newton's new jewel colors.<br />
<br />
There are 5 new jewel colors but I chose to use only 3 of them for the pour. The colors used are Transparent Orange, Quinacridone Violet, and Aqua Green.<br />
<br />
The piece I poured is a view of downtown Vancouver, BC from a friend's balcony. I call it City of Glass and here is the completed piece.<br />
