Two weeks to go!


It is very exciting to contemplate my 10th Filming season with Prairie Public TV. We will film again in October. I am not sure when this series will be aired. And as you might remember,...........I never know when , or if it will be shown in your area. I have never seen it in Santa Barbara, however my neighbor from across the street has a pre-cable antenna and was able to pick up a Riverside, CA station. One great suggestion is that you contact your local TV station and ask the Program director to consider airing the "Painting with Paulson" series.

Now, the ten years filming with Prairie Public represents a major portion of the 21 years that I have been doing this thrilling TV work.

Each session, I want to do something meaningful, exciting and helpful for the viewers. And I am perfectly aware, a lot of the viewers aren't necessarily artists. That truth is thrilling as I hope the non-artist viewers are inspired to enjoy life more and to see good in spite of any negative headlines.

To have variety in my art shows after having presenting several hundred of them is my opportunity and privilege.

This time I want to again take some small pochades (Paintings done on location, from memory, or from inspiration) and develop the painting as I would if I were in my own studio.. I will have the first stage in acrylics already done as a model that we will work towards in stage number one. Then the oil stage will be a discovery between you and me (no finished painting to look at!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) This is teaching/painting with Risk. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

To be a little more help to the art viewers, I will make several comments about the pochade before I commence making a painting from it. I will reveal several key ingredients that motivated me to select the subject and what I think makes it a valid subject to teach.
