Napa Valley Art Festival Demonstration

Brent Jensen during art demonstration at the Napa Valley Art Festival. A great group assembled and had wonderful questions throughout the demonstration.

I painted this Fairfield scene of sunflowers and beehives. Choosing the correct scene for a demonstration is a balance between what can be achieved during the time allotted and what will hold interest.  The one red beehive box was perfect although I explained the placement would be enhanced if it were in moved from where it was in the photo. Artistic license is often underutilized and can make a large impact in a painting. I will finish the painting later this week so look on the Fresh Paint page of my website if you are interested in seeing the final product.
