NEW Art Kit and Studio Workshops 2012

Just in time for my Winter Workshops...

I am so excited to tell you that in partnership with Jerry's Artist Outlet in West Orange, NJ we have created a NEW Lisa Palombo's Oil Painting Art Kit! Click here and go to "Lisa Palombo's Oil Painting Art Kit" link on top of the page to see list.

Come join us this February and March in my studio for two paintings workshops; a consecutive three day workshop in February and my Saturday painting class in March. 

We will be working in oil from natural still life setups on small to medium canvases in my studio. Painting small and often in this manner is a powerful way to rapidly improve your skills.

Come join us...space is limited to 7 students!

"Apples and Wine" was a painting demo from one of our Saturday morning painting classes. You can't see in this small jpeg, but the violet highlights in the shadow areas makes this piece a little jewel. Rarely do I paint a piece without flowers these days, but I think the apples are alive enough to roll right off the table.

Sunflowers and Oranges

"Sunflowers and Oranges," oil on linen, 10"x 8"

We had so much fun at our last Saturday painting class here in my studio. We all painted from the same still life, sunflowers and oranges. I love the warmth of this piece and especially the contrast of the oranges and blue cloth.

Painting Plein Air

Painting en plein air this morning at the Presby Memorial Gardens in Montclair, NJ was a real treat!!! A nice lady took this photo of me.

I was able to finish this small 8x10 painting in one sitting. For more information on how you can join our June Workshop and learn how to paint quickly too, click on this link -

Painting demo for first class

Number 18 of the "100 minis" collection

In our first class here at my NJ studio, we all painted from life. We began the class with me painting a demo. This is the mini painting I completed. Irises symbolize hope and sunflowers happiness and sunshine. We had a lot of fun and students were pleasantly surprised that we all finished small paintings in ONE sitting! Next class is in June.

Painting Class

If it looks like these people are having a good time, then we have captured our first painting class correctly!! These wonderful folks are our first group of art students at Lisa Palombo Studios. We meet on Saturday mornings. After a short demo on how to start a painting, we are able to finish small paintings each class! Lots of fun!!
