We are well along in our
Still Life in Watercolor course, and I have many excellent results from students to show you this week. The paintings below are based on assignments (painted at home) such as:
- Painting a shiny object
- Painting a transparent object
- Vegetables and fruit
- Painting a table setting in a loose, painterly style
Students have either created their own set-ups, and then photographed them or painted from life. Or they have worked from a reference photo provided by me, such as the "shiny little creamer", the "gardenia in a glass vase", or the "Blu' Island Bistro breakfast". Tell us what you think by making a comment at the bottom!

ReplyDeleteIsn't it fascinating to see the same reference photo painted by different artists? Each one so different and unique in their own way but inspired from the same source! Just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment, Deanna! You must be referring mainly to the "Shiny Creamer" paintings, and yes, it was interesting to see all the different interpretations of the same photograph that many people chose to work from. They actually all came out very well. I suppose you could attach the reference photo to the back of the painting, just for fun, but I think most people would question the wisdom of this!
