Lynne Neuman Paintings

Beach Umbrella - A great piece to experiment with patterns. I would rank this painting a 2 only because of the time it takes to outline everything. It's not difficult, just time consuming...but FUN.

Trolley Car - This fancy thing is another patterned-filled painting. You should expect this piece to run the full 2 hr. 30min. Once again, the final outlining process is what makes this Neuman painting between a 2-3 in difficulty. Difficulty: 2.5

Sailboat - If you have a lake house or beachfront property, then this is a perfect piece for you. The colors are bold and energetic. Difficulty: 2

Pink Martini - Here is a variation on our first Neuman martini painting (seen below). The warm color scheme compliments all our Neuman paintings offered. There's plenty of pattern opportunities here so the hardest part of this painting will be when to tell yourself to stop. Expect this class to run the full 2.5 hrs. Difficulty: 2

Blue Martini - This is Corks & Canvas' premiere painting. When we first offered this painting back in October of '07 we had an amazing turnout and continue to. The patterns are simple to master and allow each painter artistis freedom. Try changing up the colors to incorporate you favorites! Difficulty: 2

Old Yeller - When we offered the Neuman yellow cat painting ( see below), we were immediately asked to offer a Neuman dog painting. This distinguished fella is much simpler than you'd expect. Change the colors on this dog to match colors in your own furry friend at home. Difficulty: 2.5

Yellow Cat - Who can say "no" to a face like that? This painting requires a little bit of drawing to get the right proportions of the cat's face but after that it's artistic freedom with the crazy patterns in the background. Have fun using your favorite colors! Difficulty: 2.5

NiƱa, Pinta, and Santa Maria - Another terrific summer painting to add to your collection. This painting is one of the simplest Neuman creations because of the limited patterns. However, you may add as much pattern as you'd like to spruce up this maritime piece. Difficulty: 1.5
