what to bring
You will need your usual painting materials, and paper to follow the step-by-step. If possible you should have one stretched piece and another piece of the same type of paper for trying out techniques, colours etc
THIS Week:
Rob will lead you through a step-by-step painting.
Focus on shadows.
Please could you take a few moments this week to check that you have paid in full for the term.
‘homework’ challenge
Look around your home and garden for interesting shadows. We can hope for sun, but also be aware of how changes in light can result in lovely shadows being cast inside your home. When a street light almost opposite our living room comes on we get some great shadows cast by pot plants on the wall behind the fire. Use your phone to take a photo ; be quick before the shadow disappears!
Quote of the week
Success is a worn down pencil.
