This is something I painted for Cazenovia a couple of years ago. Flowers and Fruit done in the European style. Let's see what you have been painting lately. I loved seeing the Worcester Fruit. Cherryl

Hello all. Last weekend I took a two day course in European painting. The first is a study of a rose, and the second is the subject matter of the course: European flowers. Both of them are fired only once. I'm doing the gold work in the second fire.

This box was done in the European Method. It was done for the Houston Club. Inspired by the work of Miguel Jimenez top of Box. Sides were from my imagination. Back of Box Front of Box To me the scales were the hardest thing to do on this box! Cherryl

Oh well guess what my painting I did in European was rejected at a juried show, no explaination why. But my Vase with Roses and Grapes was accepted! So go figure. Here is what the judges rejected! I guess it was too formal for them. Cherryl

Dear everyone, I apologize for the posts on the Announcements and general chatting site, I had forgotten how to post the pictures. Celeste could you please correct and remove the blank post for me please? Our group here in Montreal has just finished a seminar with Joerg Kugelmeier. This teacher from Germany is not only a teacher but a MASTER! Everyone should take a seminar with him. He is the most wonderful person to learn from, funny, witty, calm, patient, generous and so knowledgeable. We learned in four days how to do a Meissen 18th century landscapes but also every time we had a question on other techniques, he was generous enough to explain it all to us. We just loved him. A warm, kind and affectionate man. Can you tell I just love this guy? If you have a chance to take a seminar with him, do it because what you will learn from him is extremely valuable information. He is an expert on miniature landscapes but his birds and flowers are out of this world as well, they are just perfect. He has a website but when you see his work up close, it is just outstanding. It has been a privilege to have him and we are planning now two more seminars with him for next year. I am posting a couple of pictures here of the work we did and some of his pieces. Whether you like this kind of thing of not, the tricks and points learned from him can be useful for any other kind of European painting. His wife Petra is also a Master in flower painting and we are planning to have her over as well, her flowers are the best I have seen, realistic and beautifully painted. Their website is wonderful and gives you a good idea of their skills. http://www.porzellanmalerei.com/seite_101.htm He will be in Augusta, GA in the next week and then off to Daytona Beach, FL the next. If you are in the area, try to go see his work, it is well worth it.

Hi Penny,
Yes use the clove oil you have. One drop is sufficient to keep the color opened a bit longer. Then with the turp you can make it more liquid. Keep your colors in little porcelain wells with a lid on, the kind the German painters use. Joerg Kugelmeier sells them on his web site or any other palette with a cover. After a while, when your colors feel dryer, just add a drop of turp and refresh them. If you leave them too long and they are very dry, Joerg said to add a tiny bit of fat oil again and turp to bring it back to its inky consistency.
I started to use this medium a lot more and yesterday I did a cockatoo head in one painting, I waited a bit and added more depth to the first coat. Here it is not fired yet.
I think I am going to like painting with this medium more and more for certain subjects, I think it is best for smaller paintings, flowers, landscapes, small birds and miniatures.
Irene, I can't wait to see the Dresden you have done in class. You are going to love it I am sure.

First painting with pencil sketch. This is done in one fire! So more color is added later. Completed painting. The gold and Cobalt blue comes from Maryland China and is done in the factory. Sot that the painting in finished without having to do grounding or Gold.
Entire plate!
This plate has just fruit! I liked this one on a simple plate with no gold, so did the lady who bought it! Hugs! Cherryl
