FA 209 Painting 1 Week 3

Starting Block In

Finished Wet in Wet Painting

Week 3 Recap - Tuesday students began the Wet in Wet painting method.  Covering the panel with a White + Burnt Umber mixture, students then blocked in a still life with only burnt umber.  This painting was then slowly refined to a finish by the end of Thursdays class.  On Thursday students were given a monochromatic painting demonstration using only black, white and violet paint.  The beginning approach for the fourth painting was done by drawing with graphite.  The second half of this painting will require that students tone the earlier palette with either a warm or cool secondary influence.
