Harry's G&T

Harry has been working on his large still-life project for a while and here are the results.  A well chosen close-up design emphasises the abstract nature of the subject and has an architectural quality. Very well observed colour tone (close tonal range) and drawing (large simple interacting shapes) provide a strong platform for the application of paint and texture/colour contrasts. 

Easter Home Project 2011

Please refer to the resource page on the right when doing your Easter home project: using black marker pens and colour acrylic washes. 


If you complete this early, try another one with a water soluble marker pen on damp paper then add colour acrylic washes keeping the paper surface slightly moist until finished. 


We will review the project when we next meet on 6 May. Good luck!
