January exercises

Some of the class work from the exercise set on a winter landscape at Tuesday afternoon's art class. Looking at how tonal values improve the landscape giving it shape.  Each has to decide where is the lightest and darkest area of their painting.

 Sandra's watercolour has good
light and dark areas. The work also has a nice atmosphere 
through good use of colour and tonal values.

 Alison's delicate work is nicely
composed, good feeling of distance and drawn
and painted well. 

 Pat's painting work in progress, already it has the 
appearance of a softly painted atmospheric
work. 

 Another work in progress shows
Susan's delicate watercolour work.
She has chosen to use different
colours and the result is very
attractive and gives the viewer a 
feeling that winter is here!

 Jean's work has a good understanding
of tonal values and the dark sky gives
the work a feeling of atmosphere.

 Alison Macdonald has captured
the cold wintery feeling of ice and extreme
weather conditions. Very nice attention
to the foreground.

 Carol presents us with a very cold
wintery scene full of atmosphere
made special with her beautiful
sky.

Geraldine learns how to use her
watercolours in a confident way. 
Nice loose work and use of colour.
