As I have mentioned in previous posts, I am enrolled in a formal art program this fall. Truly rewarding is the best way to describe this experience. I am learning a lot, but I think the best part is interacting with people who are so different than I am. It is a refreshing change. Painting started out with a still life. My first attempt was the one on the left. The colors were definitely too saturated and recognizable. It was an effort to learn how to mix and apply oils. Then to paint without drawing.......that was challenging as the eraser is my favorite tool.......It evolved to the one below. Definitely, a great experience in light and shadow.
Getting ready for critique!
I am fortunate enough to have James in my 3D design class as well as my painting class. He took an independent study with Andrew our painting instructor this summer. He also states that painting is "his medium". I agree as this is his painting on the right and this is not the finished product. It was awesome!
Tom is a retired kindergarten teacher. He has been with me since drawing last semester and he is so much fun to have in class. He has a sarcastic sense of humor that keeps the class lively and fun. I love his rendition of the trash can behind the bison skull! Such great attention to depth, volume, light and shadow!
