Sterling Edwards workshop

     I drove down to Allentown in July to take a workshop with Sterling Edwards Sterlingedwards.com This was a great chance to practice his take on painting negative space as well as his use of bristle hair glazing and blending brushes.  He has a few short videos on YouTube that caught my interest.  It gave me a chance to work on some house portraits that I had been commissioned to do.  Sterling was a great help.

 

This Queen Anne style house is set in a woodsy site and was done in a plein air style, with just a very little after painting at the workshop.  I like the fresh feel and looseness of the brushwork.
