This gal surprises me almost everytime she puts paint to canvas..
 . This is her second year in my art classes. I posted examples of her work here before. She's just a Junior.
This isn't even close to being done, but I thought I'd share it anyway. It is truely exceptional. There will be an owl there at some point. This is oil on canvas about 18x24 
She finished it today and brought it in. All I have to say, wow.

Cranberries in a river? It's berries, and an owl(not yet rendered) on a green background(unfinished).  The berries at this point look so real, in person, you think you can just reach out and pick one up.
I'll try to post more pictures as it progresses. This gal already does work on commission outside of class. Impressive stuff. |

I wish I had had an art teacher of your caliber at my high school. Not that I'd really want to delve too much into oil painting - I'm much happier working digitally - but I'm sure you'd have been able to teach me a lot more than the hack I had that had us making construction paper collages.

Here is an iPad sketch using Sketchbook Express that she did. It looks like her. She has a bunch of sketches like this. Really impressive work.

I could never get the hang of digital sketches; I think my problem was I never sat down and used it enough. I eventually sold it to help pay for my first handgun. |

I always loved art, but the whole social aspect of highschool kept me out of taking classes until Senior year. What's hilarious is that our art classroom was put in as an extension of the field house.

Adding more might make it too busy (I don't have an artistic enough eye to see what the owl would add), but I'd love to see it when done - please get her permission to post the final painting. |

Here is another piece by a different student. She just finished it, and got it hung up. My dad would love this. I don't think she will sell it to me.
Also Oil on canvas, about 24X30

Yes, but not just the great artists. Great kids make the job worth it, even if they suck at art.
When it gets to the level of the first girl, there isn't much I can teach her. I just provide the atmosphere to foster positive risks. She is a better artist than I am. I've had many over the years that are. Many come back and teach me a thing or two. That's pretty cool.

Everyone in the family wanted a copy so she had some made up and sold them for $150 a print. Probably should have been more, but she sold a bunch of them, and they cost her $70 each to have made.

How about having them do an international show, St Petersburg Russia for example.
