Shipley 2: folding textile studies

In our second week at the Shipley Art gallery we looked at paintings in the collection to see how other artists tried to paint folded materials. Then we worked on still-lifes that we set up with two contrasting types of cloth. Below is the full painting (all unfinished) plus a detail. It is in the details that we can see more precisely how our skills are developing. What seemed like a simple task turned out to be quite a challenge - but good for the brain! In order below our work is: Ann's Beamish tram, Bob's still-life, Frank's still-life, Harry's still-life and large townscape, Mary's still-life, Moira's still-life, Pete's still-life, Rose's still-life, Val's still-life and large landscape.
