We started off the new year by featuring Jerry Yarnell, one of the few artists we know who has his own television show.
Jerry had already established his art career by the time he was 21. He used to record videos of his painting methods, and eventually one of his students took a tape to a PBS affiliate. Not long after that, Grumbacher saw one of his videos, and he was offered a contract before he knew it.
Now, a 25-year veteran of PBS, he has authored 12 books on painting and hundreds of teaching videos. His complete series of illustration videos, DVDs, and books is available at YarnellSchool.com. In addition, some of his fine art paintings can be viewed at josephyarnell.com.
He has been rewarded for his dedication with numerous awards, and his work has been received enthusiastically from shows to galleries across the country. But above all, Jerry is quick to tell you that God gets all the glory for his success.
It's like cooking.. "a little bit of this, some of that"
Only 15 minutes in, and we have an entire mountain range.
We had an overwhelming turnout!
"Hope you're getting this, there will be a quiz soon!" :)
There are entire paintings inside these tubes, and it's his job to get them out!
..getting there
Done.
For this demo, 83 people showed up, which was probably the largest turnout in the history of the art guild!
Jerry was also kind enough to donate the finished piece to the guild!
