STILL ON LESSON THREE

This is the one I decided to go with, It was from a photo I took of a little Sunday market in Hawaii



I'm struggling with this lesson, I have done three paintings up to now, but I'm not really satisfied with any of them, This one is a picture I did previously, I have done some more work on it, it still doesn't fit the criteria so I don't think I will use this one.

THIRD LESSON

This month our task is to do a painting of people , remembering to use lost and found edges, the correct use of dark and light, ie, small, medium and dark and light shapes, with a passage through the painting connecting both dark and light, To make sure that twenty five percent of the painting is the center of interest, and in the center of interest having the lightest lights and the darkest darks and the most usual shapes. Easy huh. Well if so why am I on my third painting with nothing worth posting yet?

SECOND LESSON

First Lesson Jane Hofstetters watercolor masterclass

I am taking a masterclass for watercolor from the illustrious Jane Hofstetter. I am looking forward to working hard in this class. We meet once a month for a lecture and demonstration, We then are given an assignment to bring in next month. This months was the essence of summer. We could choose whatever we thought deplicted a summer mood to us. I saw this photo and knew right away it was what I wanted to do.
