Red's Eats Wiscosset, Maine

Red's Eats, 9 x 12 oil on canvas demo from this morning's class.  Once again, simplification of shapes and values in order to create the feeling of the confusion one sees at this little lobster stand in Wiscosset, Maine

Two demos

 So, the figures is a demo from my Keene workshop...an oil.  And, the flowers are an oil demo from my morning oil class.  Although they are different images, the approach is very similar.  Big brush, sculpt the plains and the shapes.
