| 'Morning at the Pond' 9x12 pastel ©Karen Margulis available $175 |
It is hard to believe that a year ago I was teaching a workshop at one of my favorite places in the world the Goshen School of Art at Crow Creek Farm in Goshen New Jersey. Now I am adapting to changing times and getting ready to film my first virtual workshop! I am fortunate to have a treasure chest of memories and photos to revisit these special places. So as part of my Paint our Beautiful World project I choose New Jersey as my state number seven.
The painting is did was inspired by the pond on the farm. I was intrigued by the light and the contrast between the bare trees of early spring and the emergence of spring flowers. I used Art Graf pigment squares to do a dark underpainting on Canson Touch paper. It gave me a bold and simple start which allowed me to gradually add the detail of a complicated woodland scene. I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting this special place.
If you would like to take a virtual visit click on the link below. It should open up all of the blog posts I have made about my visits to the farm both as a student of Stan Sperlak and an instructor.
