Acrylic palette Knife painting by Chris Hobel, 8x8" box canvas

Painted in the same style and colours as my previous post. I especially like to use the palette knife for acrylic in the summer as the the thick paint takes a bit longer to dry
Classes for this term have commenced and its great to see such wonderful friends again. This week we reviewed a a few tips on composition  so I think Ive inspired myself to get busy after a summer break.

Im looking forward to attending an oil painting workshop this weekend with Colley Whisson, a popular Australian Impressionist Painter from just north of Brisbane Queensland.
I notice his classes in the US are full and Ive said to myself for a long time..Im gunna do a colley  workshop soon... Luckily for me its only about an hours drive. I painted this a while back but I have been very slack with blogging over recent times due to our summer heat and all the depressing news, floods, cyclones and fire.. I dont like to use the Air con as the contrast when I leave the studio is too much to take.

Today has been much cooler and Ive painted two 8x8" oil paintings  so that tells me something. The big shape of the shadow took my attention .This area is part of the flood plain of the mary river and Im sure it has been flooded recently.

Tamarama Beach Sydney Australia Acrylic Painting by Chris Hobel

24x36"

I completed this painting over the last few days as a  birthday present for my son who likes to surf at this  beautiful beach . A bit rushed and done in Jo Sonja acrylic as its needs to be on a plane in a few days. The urban back drop was challenging as I rarely paint city scenes. I loved the colours of the sky
