alla prima

the end of another term has come and oh so quickly, but always good to have a break.  one of the things we did this term was to look at different brushes and how those brushes can be used in different ways to achieve the desired effect (many times i just wanted to change my brush for my good old faithful, however, i have now added quite a few more brushes to my preferred pack).  to do this, we practised alla prima which means we had to complete the work in one session, and below are the four small pieces (20x20cm approx) which i managed to do (with a bit of cheating sometimes of having to take it home to finish haha).

that's the life - italy style

3rd term this year at Splashout Studios Art, was all about Italy.  Some lucky ladies were able to join Jenny and Krysia (Splashout) on a two week art group trip to Italy this year and brought back a deluge of photos from their travels.  The 3 paintings below are my final products (unfortunately I wasn't one of the lucky ladies, but next time!).  This is one of the reasons why I love going to Splashout - you get to try your hand at different techniques and paint things you probably normally wouldn't think to paint.   "Wooden Horse" was a classic example of this, and I enjoyed doing it so much more than I expected.  ("Wooden Horse" has sold, but the other two are still available for sale).
