Today's art class @BRACE

Dawn gave two introduction to art workshops at BRACE today. 

Starts with a powerpoint presentation on care of brushes and then a session on mark making and mixing colours. They were well received.

On my easels-work in progress

Day 2, or final now, Dawn likes it better now and thinks it is finished, Helamen thinks it is reminded him of a Chinese doorpost greeting or welcome sign.

 

Today's painting-Day One

This is the first day of painting, has 3 layers, background, glowing orangy colour, and laying down some patterns might be useful. Decided to have something hidden in the centre. 

In the past, after "beguiled", I was stymied about the middle of the painting, what to have there, now I hope this works!

 

Final Day: on my easel

I liked this better, it reminds me of my earlier work.

Two more new paintings

These couple of paintings were inspired from the Sketchbook project 2011

Day 2,

On my easels-work in progress

Started out on a new painting on a primed canvas (1220x1524mm) in the colours that I liked which I used before in "Prancing in Paris". I feel these colours goes well with each other and I layered them in blocks and worked in the lines until they got somewhere.
