Painters on show in Paris. Petit Palais, Musée des Beaux Arts de la ville de Paris


Giuseppe de Nittis



http://en.parisinfo.com/show-exhibition/1282676/giuseppe-de-nittis
'Giuseppe de Nittis loved the beautiful people, parties, clothes and great landscapes. This exhibition presents the work of this Italian painter, a friend of Caillebotte, Manet and Degas; characterized by certain elegance in the choice of his themes but also in the technique of his painters. He was also one of the first artists to experiment with pastels on a large scale.'


From October 20 2010 to January 16 2011

Painting workshop feedback.

I just wanted to thank everyone that attended the workshops on Tuesday and Wednesday. My ambition was for a re-newed excitement for painting. I certainly went away with this. I think it would have been useful to explore supports for painting and various priming methods in more detail. In the meantime The John Jones web site is worth looking at for this information. I have added this information under art suppliers. Please make any suggestions that you may have for how this type of workshop can be improved, I would be very grateful for your feedback.  Please find some of the initial painting experiments made on Tuesday. I look forward to seeing how the work progresses on my next visit in a few weeks time.  Sarah
