Our main project!
Today we started on our main individual projects to work on until the end of term on 5th July. Some of the pictures below are studies before the main painting begins. The focus is on water, reflections and light (a landscape motif) and how this presents colour and form in different and dynamic ways. The aim is to enable us to combine our learning from last term and this term on complementary greys, blending, broken colour, sfumato and colour contrasts. One or two in the group are using a different motif (subject) to achieve these aims.
Water - artists to look at: Monet (water lilies series and London Thames in the smog series), Samantha French, Jan Fordyce, David Hockey (swimming pools).

Sfumato Part two!
Lots of energy and progress today. Different approaches / techniques to create a sfumato effect on display in the paintings. Fabulous mixing of colour too - good use of complementary hues to create greys.

Week 3: Sfumato!
We looked at the various approaches and techniques that can be used to create the sfumato effect - spraying pastel dust, broken colour marks, blended colour, scumbling. We then considered complementary hues to create greys, optical colours (not blended), contrasts and close toned colours. Early signs are good!
