We are now back for the new term and into our 2nd week. We welcomed Karen to our group - great start with your drawing and painting Karen!
In week one we did the usual induction, a quiz to check our knowledge from last year, followed by a return the key basic skills of seeing by drawing: how to interpret colour as a grey scale - drawing colours using only a graphite stick to show the range of tones from dark to light; drawing in line only to see the shapes and 2D construction in our chosen image. Both the quiz and the drawing exercise helped us to assess where we are at the start of the new course and to set some new goals for our work.
In week two started the first of our 2-week projects. The first one is "Working in Mixed Media" where we started with a highly textured acrylic greyscale painting. Next week we apply the colour layers using oil pastels.
Here are the first-stage greyscale acrylic paintings:

| Being so thickly painted, a hairdryer helps to speed drying in class. |
