Monday Thomas Robson
With all plans of mice and men against the elements, they fall. In
the hopes of some plain air Mondays I gathered together the paraphernalia of a
watercolourist. Ha, next term says Thomas, so what to do? I utilised the photos
taken from the field trips of block week and I continued with my primary colour studies,
going back to oils.
Wednesday Roger Key
Still trying to get me to use
more paint and not paint what I see, I endeavoured to paint white and movement,
Still using the watered down paint (with turps) from last term for backgrounds,
but thickening up with the foreground white, I went back to portraiture
focusing on white communion dresses and wedding frocks. What he did like was
when I went thick messy and less figurative – Question - how much of a figure
do you need to paint before someone recognises it as someone? Answer - Surprisingly not much
Friday Sarah Brock
Sarah always has a plan to her term, but is sensitive to her
students personal artistic journey, adapting the lessons she wants to impart. I
try to fit my personal goals around what she’s teaching so I don’t miss out on
her wisdom, I do however have an idea on what I could do in class before we
start so I can ‘hit the ground running’ so to speak and not waste days
formulating a plan. Sometimes that works and sometimes I change direction on
the run.
I started the three dancers in her class and I
tried to keep the whole thing painterly, free and unfinished – things suggested
not explained, of course Roger suggested I did not go far enough hence the
pirouette 1 and 2.
