STILL LIFE WITH SECONDARY COLOR SCHEME
This week students painted a still life with a color scheme of purple, green and orange.  They focused on painting the water in the vase, and how the stems of the flowers contorted and magnified.

This was the setup

SUNFLOWERS
This was the first assignment of our class. The subjects were a fresh sunflower, a dead sunflower, and a sunflower leaf.  The beginning students did one painting of each object, using a different tool each time:  a pen, a small watercolor brush, and a bamboo brush.  The advanced students also used three tools, but put the objects together in one painting.  Very good work for the first class meeting.

STILL LIFE WITH PRIMARY COLORS
For the second class, students used a color scheme of primary colors.  First they lightly toned the paper with yellow, blue and red.  Then they drew the objects with a brush loaded with cadmium yellow, and then they added color to the objects.

My work inspired by Joan Mitchell

I created this work after seeing two exhibits of paintings and works on paper by Joan Mitchell.  I like her free interpretation of gardens and light.  Some were almost just scribbles.
