Back

Castle Gate entrance

This was a particularly interesting subject for me, as I lived in a flat overlooking Caerphilly Castle many years ago, this brought memories of my time living there.

I used the grid method as suggested by Rob.

I like working with Pen and Ink, my past efforts gave the impression that the drawing was flat, so I hope to have got this one with a bit more depth, as the term goes on I am seeing things differently.

Brecon Beacons

I find that for me to sketching the outlines helps, and is beneficial, it helps me with prospective.

This was quite challenging because of the reflections.

It took me a while to complete, but I got there in the end

Black Mountains

In the first part of this lesson we spent time mixing colours, I found this very helpful as I struggle to get the shades to look realistic, I'm happy with the result, but still need to work on mixing paints.

Jug

This was painted in Acrylics, using mixtures of Black and White, making different shades of Grey.

I found not being able to draw an outline very challenging, but on the second attempt I got the shape of the object.

Landscape

I jury is out on this one, I may re-do it.!!!

White Cottage

This was a pleasant project, I seem to be getting a better understanding of prospective, I feel the chosen colours make it quite dramatic

Pear

This was a very interesting lesson, we spent time mixing colours, something I struggle with, I hope this will give me more realistic paintings to come.

Venice scene

Challenge 2.
The sketching was complicated, had two try’s at this, felt I got the prospective right, (not sure if Ruben would have been happy )😃, colours still in progress, but will keep trying.

Building on a lake

Challenge 1.
My sketch on this picture took me some time, but I was sort of happy with the outcome, the painting of it was enjoyable, lots of detail, my sense of colour needs improvement. I found it got better by layering different shades of reds and browns.
