First Saturday 06JUL2013

This month, I led the class in Outdoor Sketching.  We focused on drawing what you really see and capturing the moment quickly.  We had 15 kids show up for the class, along with some parental units participating.  When it was all over, we had ice cream.

Ever wonder what this studio stuff is all about? It’s SPECIFICALLY for stuff like this. When you buy t-shirts, prints, memberships, or just send donations, “like” or share a post or video, or attend The Artistic Biker Live! you help keep the doors open for programs like the CAAC’s First Saturday Arts Program. http://wp.me/p35GcN-1p

Each week on The Artistic Biker Live, I have a segment where I promote other artists around the web in what I like to call “What’s On Your Easel?”!  Here are this week’s entries:

Last week we had works submitted by Michelle Greene Hotchkiss (https://www.facebook.com/MichelleHotchkissArt):

$2 Tutorial Tuesday: Essence Of

s4e37tut

This is an introduction to what I call “Essence Of”.  This is for stuff you need in your painting, but is not the focus of the painting.  It’s a way for you to lay in shapes quickly and to trick the viewer into thinking there’s more detail than really exists.

The Artistic Biker Does Austerity Measures

The Videos

art journal acrylic painting

My favorite pants are cutting me in half and my “DominARTist” shirts look like swollen balloons. So I have instituted some austerity measures to solve that problem. ;)

This week on What’s On Your Easel, we had works from Athala (http://www.youtube.com/user/jandrathala), Michelle Greene Hotchkiss (https://www.facebook.com/MichelleHotchkissArt), Marilyn-in-Oregon, and my beautiful, young bride.

The Artistic Biker is a blunt force journey through the art world and art journaling. If Bob Ross, Red Green and Justin Wilson had a love child, it would be The Artistic Biker!

Each week I produce The Artistic Biker Live! on Ustream, then upload the edited videos here. Saturday, you get a 3-5 minute short with me singing. On Monday, you get an hour (ish) long version with all the discussion from the show. And finally, on Wednesday you get the What’s On Your Easel? segment as a stand-alone video. So what are you waiting for? SUBSCRIBE ALREADY! http://goo.gl/NyELT
