two pictures of the same thing, in different light. this weeks assignment was to pick four items from around the house that we love the color of and try to match those colors as close as possible by mixing our paints. the miniature red purse, pink feathers, green piece of wood from our old house, and blue chippy stool were my choices.
in progress
finished piece.
since we could paint any subject matter using our four colors, i wanted to try something really simple this week. i didn't want a bunch of detail like last week. i wish i had a more intuitive sense of shadowing and highlighting. i don't automatically know where to shade and highlight so i get frustrated. here i was looking at a wine bottle and just had to decided on where the light source could be coming from. these are odd colors and not at all realistic so it was tougher for me.
week 4 is all about composition. we have a list of about 10 elements of composition and we are to pick one or two of them when focusing on our choice of painting. i just saw a photo of a one room church in the Andes mountains in Peru that i want to try painting so i will be back to show you when that's finished. the photo is in an online magazine and i cannot figure out how to lift the image to show you here so i will try making a link to it so you can see the original photo i base my painting off of if ya want....
