Painting-Drawing 9-Master Course 2017 (Student1)

Monday lesson I start my Third Landscape painting. For that I choose my own picture which I took at the Le Cascine park Florence Italy. I take Raw Umber and draw the shapes with a small paint brush. As professor Alessandro say when we do Landscape painting “The shapes don’t have to be precise, we are not copying a scene exactly. We are using the scene as a reference or guide. The scene just provides the material, we will decide how to organize the composition and what colors to use.”

Then I do other part of my painting according to the composition rules. And I use various of green colors. I mix muted green with other colors on the palette first and then slowly add tiny amounts of intense green to add harmonious look as well as value to the painting.

As always love to do the detail; that is the best part of my painting.

When my friend Laysa is doing her painting. As she selected to do more experimental study in drawing and sketching due to her less time period according to Professor Alessandro, she got improved on her sketching talent.

In Wednesday lesson I got positive comments for my Landscape painting which I finished on my Tuesday on individual study period. So my lecture asked me to do same painting again in bigger size paper as well as he guided me to avoid some week point of my previous painting.

Thursday: Victor did his second step of his self-portrait, professor Andy asked him to balance tones in right manner. It is important to identify what falls into dark shadows and mid tones and it’s not easy as it sounds, she said. This is how he did it.
