Good News/Bad News: Australian Landscapes


Tuesday AM Update: a commenter notes that there are some paintings "among the missing" (and I now count only 8 on display out of 12 total - what was I thinking?) and she's right. My bad. Must go back to my other computer in a little bit in order to post them. Sorry.


Master J. Wolters



Miss M. Wolfe



Miss C. Lee



Miss R. Fadler

Here's the good news: all my students did a great job on the assignment. The "bad news"? They did it without me...Boo-hoo-hoo. There, now that I got that out of my system have a look at their paintings.


Master N. Davis



Miss N. Buckingham



Miss K. Breeding



Miss H. Ridge



Master D. Harwell (unfinished: missed class first week on project)

Our next stop? "Yupo"

Step away from your pencils...if you're putting 'transfer-graphite' on the back of your homework drawing that is. Our new paper isn't paper at all, but Yupo's 100% polypropylene! Why didn't I realize this sooner: it's so translucent we can TRACE RIGHT THROUGH IT. That's the good news. Bad news is our normally SUPER pens are not quite waterproof on it, but more good news is I have some India Ink which is, so...I get to do all 12 (!!!) ink-drawings for you. I expect, um, well, dark chocolate is always appropriate. Just kidding. Here's 'stage 1' of about 3 stages. We can't work too soupy on this surface, as it takes a bit longer to dry. If either assistant is reading this - could you bring hairdryers, too? In our first stage we'll cover our entire painting in it's Mid-tones. Sort of like below. Then stage 2'll be some darker/richer tones, followed by stage 3's lighter/brighter tones and final highlights and deepest darks. I...

The type came across a bit smaller than I wanted. But in a nutshell I would really like to see these mini-prints of your paintings selling like hotcakes at the upcoming Sonlight Fair! Contact me soon if you want to be a part of an artcard-collection.

This Week in Pictures: Namib Desert

Miss R. Fadler. Amazing shadows. Looks like a flashlight is pointing directly at those trees. Great "depth-of-field" accomplishment. Master N. Davis. Thanks for letting me "demo" a bit on your painting. Ditto on the shadow-effect. Miss N. Buckingham. Such delicate, ethereal colors here, it's hard to believe all these students are using the very same paints...In this version (as in Miss Lee's further down the post) the focus is as much - or more - on the ink-drawing as it is on the painting. Contrast this with Miss Fadler's and Master Davis's, above and Miss Breeding's below. These latter three have nearly done-away-with the ink-drawing in favor of very bold/rich/or deep toned colors - of course any or all lines could be re-inked. So much for my fearing we'd end up with 12 cookie-cutter paintings each lesson! Miss M. Wolfe. I like this sky. Reminds me of stained-glass. Miss K. Breeding (not quite finished). Does her sky remind anyone else of a...
