Oil Sticks Demonstration
by Artist Madeline Dukes
Part I - Laying the foundation
Madeline gave her demo on oil sticks this morning, and a lot of the artists joined the public and came out to learn - not only did Maddie talk and paint at the same time, she is the first artist I know of to give handouts on the process. These demonstrations really are free art lessons, and I so appreciate the participating artists because it does take preparation, personal time and lots of energy (especially when its 91 degrees and the heat index is 105 degrees!). Our artists are great about sharing information, knowledge and painting tips. It's one of the ways the Piccolo Spoleto Outdoor Art Exhibition and its artists provide a public service to Charleston and the surrounding community.
Part II- Building the painting up
Part III - Close to the finish
(to be continued...)
The other demonstration today was artist Kevin LePrince, and he was ready to paint 4 hours before his demonstration.
Kevin LePrince, set up for demo by 10:05 for 2:30 p.m. demonstration.

"Chef Salad"
Once he started painting it seems he couldn't stop so Kevin wins the prize for painting 3 demonstrations today!
