Abbey Ryan's Online Painting Demo

I was able to watch Abbey Ryan's online painting demo last week and was very cool.  I love watching how other artists work a painting.  You can view this demo and others by visiting her web blog:  http://ryanstudio.blogspot.com/ and you can also visit her main site: http://www.abbeyryan.com/. 

Abbey paints in a "alla prima" or all-at-once style which is the process of painting a painting directly onto the canvas and usually in one sitting.  Her painting style was handed down by her teacher, David Leffel at the Art Students League.

Abbey sometimes includes these magnificent bottles in her paintings that are equally beautiful, you can view on the Jury Smith Bottle Shop site:  http://shop.jurysmith.com/
