A derelict barn.

A tricky but fascinating picture to paint and the recent  lessons, practising a variety of techniques, have really paid dividends.

Two more paintings

 Two monochrome pictures.

 I chose to work this picture in Sepia.

The same picture, worked in greys, as demonstrated by Steve.

Class paintings continued.

I'm a bit disappointed in this painting and wuld have preferred more subtle colours in the sky.

More watercolour pictures.

We started the term painting simple watercolour pictures, to practise colour mixing and getting the correct density of colour.  I will be posting these over the next few days, but will normally only be posting my own paintings thereafter.  I've said this so many times but always slip back into taking the easy way by using my tutors lessons! Not this time!! (Hopefully)

Cezanne

A recent purchase of mine was a 'Ready to Paint' book of Cezanne's pictures by Michael Sanders.  I was particularly drawn to the Vase of Tulips, so took advantage of the provided tracing but used the exercise as a way to practise my colour mixing, working from the large picture but without referring to the detailed instructions that were included. Also I was using watercolour paints not acrylics.
It was great fun to paint and I'm particularly pleased with how accurate the finished colours are.

Another Sunset

I seem to be focusing on sunsets at present, this is one painted whilst at my latest class.

The finished pumpkin.

               It's been a real learning curve completing this picture but I have enjoyed doing it!

The longest task was loading the pictures onto the blog!
