New Painting Workshop, "Coloring Outside the Lines" with Niki Gulley

"Colorful Transformation" ©2012 Niki Gulley

36" x 48" textured oil painting on wrap around canvas

With "Colorful Transformation," I wanted to focus on brilliant color and simple shapes to see if I could communicate the excitement I feel when surrounded by nature. Using energetic diagonal strokes and thick, textured paint, I hope you get a sense of the motion in the leaves and the power of nature to invigorate your spirit. I just love how this piece captured that essence!

I'm excited to announce that I will be teaching a 3 day workshop, "Coloring Outside the Lines" at my gallery in Fredericksburg, TX Nov. 2-4. So if you would like to learn how to paint with more freedom and color, please join me for this fun-filled workshop!

Painting Workshop Saturday with Niki Gulley

"Beyond the Trees" by Niki Gulley
18" x 24" pastel • sold

I love the way sunlight trickles through tangled branches and creates mystery, and capturing that light is such a fun challenge as in the case with "Beyond the Trees."

If you'd like to learn how to translate the fleeting light outdoors onto canvas, join me in my plein-air painting workshop this Saturday. I still have 2 spots left and I'd love to have you paint with us! Visit NikiGulley.com or e-mail me at Niki@NikiGulley.com for more information.

Painting Workshop March 27th

"Turtle Creek Impressions" by Niki Gulley

16" x 20" pastel • SOLD

I painted this piece at Turtle Creek in Dallas when the Azaleas were in full bloom. I wanted to capture not only their beautiful spring colors, but also the reflections in the water. A slight breeze gives a little shimmer to the creek's surface.

If you'd like to expand your painting into a whole new world outside the studio, join me for my "Conquering Cabin Fever" plein air painting workshop next weekend. They are predicting no rain and 70 degrees, too! See nikigulley.com/ng2/?page_id=13 for more details. I'd love to have you join us!
