Amazing Greens! Student artwork 2022

 There has been some lovely artwork produced by my students so far this autumn. And often the most unexpected subject makes the most delicious painting! A great example of this was Cabbage week! The paintings were superb!

This first image below shows Anne-Marie's painting after one session. You can see clearly that the subject really lends itself to learning how watercolour uses layering to build up depth of colour. The cabbage is all shades of greens, so a good lesson in subtlety and close-colour comparisons. 

The photo below is Anne-marie again, at the end of a second session on the painting. As you can see she has one a tremendous job! And she is very new to watercolour, making it a very impressive start to the term. 

The lovely painting below again shows the excellent range of greens - cool dark blue-greens, mid-value grey-greens as well as more limey yellow-greens. 

Sara's painting - delicious!

Georgie's painting, in her Moleskine sketchbook.

Above, Georgie likes to vary her methods each week an in this instance she did a tonal graphite drawing first then added watercolour washes on top. A very efficient way to paint! 

Christine's painting - atmospheric!

The painting above is by Christine McC. Like Anne-Marie this took more than one session, but she has created a painting full of calm and atmosphere. No such thing as 'just a cabbage'!!
