FA 209 Painting 1 Week 4

This week students worked to finish up their Wipe out painting project while having a demonstration on the Wet in Wet blending technique. Creating a light tan base layer students will sgraffito draw into the wet paint to create a loose compositional layout. Then students will use Burnt Umber to begin blocking in the drawing and values of the piece as each stroke will begin blending to the wet under layer. Students should pay close attention to edges between strokes and work to add both darks and lights to the piece with burnt umber and white.
