I think this course is my favourite Domestika so far - Creative Watercolor Sketching for Beginners by Laura McKendry. It went into a bit more depth and got a bit more creative than some of the others - which are good but you just really do one thing. This was way more interesting and she had us doing some different things. The results aren't fabulous but the process was great fun and a bit mind-stretching, which is probably the point.
This is where we used watercolour to make random patterns on paper, then cut it into shapes and glued up a collage.
This is where we used monochrome to do light and dark to show planes (as in faces) and planes (as in ... planes). It was quite enlightening.
Random unrealistic fish in random unrealistic colours. The idea was to use 'un-complementary' colours for deliberate ugliness. I succeeded.
Random unrealistic fish in monochrome. With splatter. As you can see, nothing particularly fabulous resulted but heaps of fun to do and I can say I learned something with each technique. I have another course of hers in the queue which I am looking forward to.
All very interesting. I'm always amazed at how different your house is from ours, with your bare brick and tiled floors. That would be very chilly here! But it's nice, and I love your lights.
ReplyDeleteFish have pectoral fins (as well as dorsal, ventral, anal and caudal)so they all need another set. An operculum would help, too. But there is still no such thing as an ugly fish.
