3 Minute Study, Figurative Art, Figurative Paintings, Colorado Artist Carol Hein

One of my goals this year is to loosen up. To help accomplish that goal I began studying with Kim English at the Art Student's League. In each class we warm up with a series of 3 minute paintings. Each week I will keep one of the poses (we do at least 30 paintings a week) and post it here so that you can follow the journey with me. Please feel free to offer critiques and encouragement as we go along. These studies are not for sale because I want to be able to look back at the semester and, hopefully track progress to my goal.

Female Figurative Stylized Oil on Canvas painting by M. Allison

$400.



Well..we were at the Supreme Court building in Washington DC.,
so I thought an appropriate title would be 'Holding Court' as that is what
they appear to be doing in an abstract sense of the phrase.  
Somehow this photo emerged with more ochre colors, and
I loved the difference in this one and 'Who's Calling' that I have
posted previously.  I love the light and shadow!

Set for the Day, Seascape Paintings, Beach Scenes, Colorado Artist Carol Hein

Set For The Day, 8 by 8 inch original oil painting - $300 unframed. Well, I am behind again. I have four paintings out at various shows and am trying to get some new work ready for a March edition of Southwest Art Magazine. Started a semester of study with Kim English. The first class was a blast! We did 30 paintings; all five minute studies working with a model. When the timer buzzed, the model changed her pose, painters wiped down their canvases, the timer was reset and painters were expected to capture the next pose and background within five minutes. Buzz, wipe, pose, paint.... Loved it! Totally different from my snail's pace painting style. To purchase contact Carol at carolhein@sbcglobal.net Visit my website carolhein.com

An Abstract Realistic Transparent Oil and Scribble Painting

It's Confidential
20 X 24    thinned oil on canvas
with graphite

contact me for purchase by email - allison@mallisonartist.com

This is another painting of two of my daughters engaged
in conversation.  Must be 'confidential'.  I've tried this in
a different technique.  Very little paint is used - it's
thinned with paint thinner and appears to be a
watercolor and I can hardly wait to get to the point
to scribble ! Anyway, it's fun and freeing.  Enjoy!

A Contemporary Painting with Emphasis on Light and Shadow

O.K., so I traveled to Washington DC with my beautiful
daughters for my birthday, and everywhere we go, I coerce them 
to 'pose' for me of which they now have become acquiescent.  
Here we are at the Supreme Court which was on the list
because two of them are attorneys and one is an interior designer 
and an unbelievable artist, so the architecture and the representation
of this building was a must!
To me, they make wonderful models, but because of my
signature style of 'featureless' faces, they can become
anyone.  Therein lies the fun of it!  The contrast of the light and
shadow in this scene was enticing to me.  I hope I have done it justice!

By Appearance II
                                                                               


 Not really a diptych, but they sold as one.  Another of my  'technique' 
of a painting within a painting.  Subtle, muted colors with just a little
vibrancy and texture added.  These turned out a somewhat bright,
so I used one of my tricks and covered them with a wash of
raw umber to tone down.

available for auction on Daily Paintworks.com
starting bid:  85.


I've begun to do some small pieces and I love doing
them, but must confess, it is a learning process, since
I'm so used to painting pretty large works.
But...wouldn't you love to be under that umbrella?

I just earned a page in the

with my painting: 'Texas Cowboy' and have 
been juried in their online gallery.  Take a look!

The Vision


mallisonartist.com

24 X 36 oil and glazes
M. Allison
available for auction on Daily Paintworks.com
starting bid: 600.

A 'newish' concept letting the background do a lot of the work.
It's done with lots of layers drawing your eye down
to the focal point of the painting. My featurless face
with a mood to unravel and a story to tell.

A Provacative, Female Figurative Contemporary Painting

Don't Look Back
12 X 16   oil on canvas
available

I feel this painting is a little mysterious in feeling - something you
(the viewer) can create and give a story to and make up your
own interpretation.  Maybe someone's after her 'orange slippers'!
