Daydreaming about a portrait for your family? Take a walk with me and let's think about it.
Dream about your sweet baby's face in a few perfect brushstrokes, as fresh as the day she was born.
Sarah Griffin Thibodeaux paints kids of all ages--especially those who never grew up. Let's catch that glimmer no matter what your age.
Big things come in small packages.
Not a giant painting on your wall but an easel size painting that fits in your space just right.
Let your love shine through for years to come by capturing the magic with a live wedding painting!
In this class. we take the everyday at home moment and turn it into a poem of a painting. These interior paintings of family life are lyrical. They are about stilling a single moment that catches you, makes you still for a moment, wanting you to capture it.
Every year is a new start. This year take some time to review the pieces you have made and highlight your best and discard the rest. This is your art journey. It is important. It is why you are here. To share this part of you with others. To give hope. To give connection. To inspire. To just be you. In this course, artist Sarah Griffin Thibodeaux guides you her process of portfolio review with guidance on your best pieces, through writing an artist statement, getting your web site updated and preparing your work to share with others. We gather on an online call once a week for six weeks and get ourselves ready for the year!
Class is taught online via video call.
This class teaches the fundamentals of painting the head in oil. Students paint the model from life in four sessions. Beginning with a toned canvas, students will execute a careful drawing and subsequently build up the structure of the head from darks to lights. Emphasis is on understanding the structure of the head and learning to mix colors to create realistic and harmonious flesh tones. The class will begin with a demonstration of the alla prima technique, used by John Singer Sargent and handed down through generations of atelier painters and teachers.
Class is taught in person in New Orleans Faubourg Marigny neighborhood
