Homework #2

Ok, same as before, we started with sketches and worked our way to a finished painting. This one cost me a few brain cells. I could not match the color of the red satin cloth. Most of this was painted and repainted at least twice.

Homework #1

This involved drawing 4 setups and getting one of them ok'd to paint, then submitting a 50% completed painting to be critiqued. For the final painting we had to make any changes the professor recommended and finish.

Module 6

Copper, not my favorite to paint. Need I say more?

Module 5

How do you paint clear glass? You don't, you paint what's behind it. That's the theory anyway. The small glass to the left has a rippled surface, not a wise choice for the first time. I'm going to need a lot more practice with this stuff.

Module 4

Finally working with a full color palette, so what did I do? I went with primary colors, of course! I was actually trying to loosen up a little and did this one pretty fast. A little too fast though, since I forgot my horizon and didn't get good shadows under the bowls to keep them from looking like they're floating.

Module 3

For module 3 we got to add cad yellow to the mix. The proportions on the gravy boat are off, but I'm pretty happy with this one. Again 11x14 canvas board.

For figure modelling I give you.........my left foot!

Module 2

Ok, yes I've been a slacker and not been posting much. I'm going to try to get that caught up. Here's my module 2 exercise, still life with a limited palette consisting of; terra rosa, yellow ochre, ivory black and titanium white. It's on an 11x14 canvas board.

I'm leaving my figure modeling homework off here since at this point it's just some geometric shapes.
