Some paintings from people who have moved from last years class to this one. Here are some of Bob and Peter's paintings from last year. Click on the images to enlarge them.
Bob's castle picture shows good use of graphite on acrylic to get that dry grey stone look. The reflection also works well. I hi boats picture I like the sense of patter caused by using simple large shapes for the boats and clouds. This lets you see the colours almost as abstract painting shapes. The third of Bob's paintings is a detail of a landscape where Bob has really started to use colour tone and temperature (cool purple hills) to give depth. Bernard
Pete's first painting was a real journey and had several versions by this stage. The avoidance of using black paint really helps the colour tones to work with warmth even in the dark shadow areas. The lake painting detail (middle picture) really works because Peter is using bold brush strokes and complementary colours orange and purple (opposites on the colour wheel). The last detail is also from this picture and shows how Peter using warm earth colours to bring the jetty forward and the water is a subtle contrast with (again) good use of opposite colours (yellow ochre and pale lilac/blue).
