Influenced by degas:  Pastel & Watercolor Class

4/26/2017

Students of my pastel and watercolor classes joined me for a fun inspirational field trip to the St. Louis Art Museum's Degas' Exhibit!

Luxurious lunch at the museum's beautiful Panorama Restaurant.

We couldn't help but be inspired for our next painting project. We were all so taken by the amazing exhibit...Shall we choose a still-life for our next  painting?... Better yet, I asked, how about painting a still-life with HATS inspired by Degas? 
Picture
So, yes, "The Millinery Shop" by Degas, was chosen for the inspirational painting and Degas was to be our mentor....Being influenced by the best! 
Picture
We brought in our hats, hatstands, scarves and ribbons to make our still life display.
Picture
I asked the class to choose a part of the display that was pleasing to them to start their paintings, isolating a few favorite hats for their composition.

 Look at the great progress!

Thank you to the St. Louis Art Museum for bringing together this exceptional exhibit,
"Degas, Impressionism & the Paris Millinery Trade".
