Artist Focus: Wayne Thiebaud


"If we don't have a sense of humor, we lack a sense of perspective." 
~Wayne Thiebaud (Tee-Bo)

I am so excited to show off the students work this week. We learned about the Impasto techniques that Wayne Thiebaud used to create his realistic pie paintings. Impasto is the technique of applying large quantities of paint with a brush or palette knife, usually with a very gestural quality. The effect is a three-dimensional aspect to the surface. Get ready to have your appetites enticed!












The younger students saw this assignment and wanted to 
paint pies too! Here are their paintings. Wow!






Great work! Now...I'm going to go have dessert!
