Spring Mill Paintout
Students in the October session spent their final class at Spring Mill working on leaf paintings. We pretty much had the park to ourselves, and for two and a half hours we worked on painting positive and negative shapes. We "veined" leaves by impressing
the paper surface with orange sticks and by lifting paint. We mixed colors on the paper and glazed layers of color. We worked wet-in-wet and wet-on-dry. We added burnt sienna to our three primaries (permanent rose, cobalt blue and winsor yellow). It isn't the best fall palette, but we continue to surprise ourselves with the range of colors produced from only four colors.
Last week's barn paintings
Peggy and Lee brought their barn paintings they had started in last week's class. Lee's painting is ready for matting and framing; Peggy plans to put in darker shadows to better define the barn's side. Next week I hope to add Wilma's and Joyce's paintings.
