Still Life Project Page
Our new assignment is a still life project to look at using a limited set of strong colours, close-up image, composition, how colour objects influence the colour of those nearby as well as practising the use of controlled washes and more loose wet washes for contrast. We will also look at a few tip as for texture. In the RESOURCES pages list opposite click on the "Still Life Set Up" link (the last one in the list) to see some tips and some images like the one here that you can use for this project or set up your own in class. See also "Still Life painting in stages" opposite for some tips on how to start painting the subject.

We're back!
It's a new term and we are back! Thirteen brave souls - some new some from last term all raring to go. Here are this weeks pictures. A full image is accompanied with a detail taken from the full painting to reveal some of the learning that has been achieved. Often it is in a detail that we really can appreciate the skills that are being developed. Below we can see some excellent observation and use of watercolour washes plus a healthy variety of brushwork.
