Last week we could practice portrait painting with life models, everyone enjoyed the challenge and learnt about proportions!

This week we selected a subject less daunting and practiced flicking acrylic and watercolour while painting a goose and a dog splashing water.

Below there are some quick demonstrations done in the classes.

Painting Classes March 2019

Posted on 01/04/2019 by Daniela Balmaverde

In the classes during the last couple of weeks we practiced drawing and painting horses and portrait/figure. For these exercises we used a limited palette of 3-4 colours.

After these exercises we had some fun painting few semi-abstract landscapes using a mixed media approach. Below you can see the samples.
