Artwork

My art classes operate on a six week term which is a nice opportunity to change focus. The classes just keep running without a break, but we renew and pay every six weeks, and I've been doing something different each time. After the foray into charcoal portraits I thought it was time to get back to some watercolours, so the first three weeks I painted this house, which is at the end of our street, back towards town.

Here it is half way through! I love that the teacher makes us take photos of the progress, it is good to look back on.

This is the original photo. Some artistic license may have been involved in the composition and colours ... this house also has alpacas but I am NOT up to alpacas yet. Oddly shaped.

I did use the charcoal skills in the art group drawing session though, where we had a (fully clothed) model reading a book. These two were both the same guy, and neither are particularly like him. I really didn't capture the essence, but it's hard to see unless you know the person in question. 

But it was fun, and as ever I enjoy seeing what other people do. Mine are quite careful, compared to the others, I need to loosen up.
