“I am drawn to the things which speak to the senses; the light and atmosphere of landscapes, the impressions of a moment or place, and the spirit of nature and of people. It is important to me to strive as an artist to paint a variety of subjects and to paint each equally well.I paint often on location, or from life. Whether researching sporting life images, landscapes,or places from abroad, painting directly from the subject is essential to capturing the impression of what I see.”

Announcing Art Nights with Dix Baines

Art Nights are weekly gatherings on Thursday Evenings in the home/studio of Dix Baines for all levels of artist, and for all media. No registration is required. Art nights are intended to be casual, you may drop in whenever you are available, or you may make this a weekly workshop. Bring your paints, easels and materials and come to create, discuss and enjoy art!

Guided activities will vary from week to week, but will include:

Demonstrations

Discussions on:
Purpose, Importance, Inspiration of Art - Materials , Methods and Techniques - Principles and Elements of Design - Inspiration from Creative Master’s

Importance of Composition Thumbnails

Outdoor Painting - Studio Painting

Preparing Portfolio, Biography for Show Submittals

Critiques of Your Work

Track the progress of my studio works

In late spring and summer classes will branch outside to paint my pond and flowers

Skill development comes from a routine of frequency, repetition, observation (seeing and sharing ideas) and setting goals for achievement. I hope that you might join me and that I might be able to share with you some of my knowledge and passion of art, and that Art Nights will provide opportunities to further develop your creative talents.
