This weeks drawing board is filled with the paintings from my online course over the last 10 weeks. The art classes I was teaching at my local art group had to close down due to the virus, so I decided to move them online.
This week we will be having some fun with colour, using bright pigments to convey an illustrative style. I have created an street scene in a cartoon style where perspective, scale and colour are all distorted slightly to create an sense of altered reality where we can play with strong colours.
This week we have a street scene where the building materials are the same, so the colours are the same, and to give a sense of depth we will use tonal values and colour saturation to give the painting some light and dark areas.
This week we will be exploring tonal values and how they can help with creating depth and perspective in landscape painting.
This week we will be painting a deceptively simple still life, paying attention to shadows, highlights and creating the illusion of three dimensional objects.
This week we will explore the genre of domestic interior painting. Celebrating the compositional details to be found in the detailed depiction of a corner of our homes.
This week we are taking a look at one point perspective, and how it can be used to create the street scene we will be painting.
This week we are painting pumpkins in a virtual still life class.
This week you can paint some gum tree branches with me.
Paint along with me and create a hillside houses illustration.
