FEBRUARY LESSON –2017
TOPIC: RED – COLOUR EXPLORATION AND PAINTING A LOOSE FLOWER ARRANGEMENT:
In this lesson we explored the colour red and just how far one can push it. whilst learning how to paint flowers loosely and how to create a glass vase as few brush strokes as possible.
In this lesson we explored the colour red in depth and saw how far we could push the colours in creating different hues, tones, blends and mixes
I demonstrated the mixing of the reds to create a colour palette, which I then used to create a floral painting.
