We had a full class today, 7 regular faces (don't want to call them old faces!) and a new lady.
We also had new colours to work with, to help create these amazing atmospheric skies.
We used masking fluid for our waves and then used a really pale wash of 3 different colours, which were the lights we had to try and keep peeping through the heavy dark sky.
Then came the difficult part.... the people!
Claire taught us the "peas" and "carrot" method, everyone's looked great, they gave the paintings some scale.
The paintings were completed in time for lunch and the afternoon was spent on a "d.i.y painting" We were on our own! Claire had various pictures and photographs of atmospheric images, which we tried to recreate with the methods she had taught us earlier.
Aren't they amazing?!
As you can see, there are only 7 afternoon paintings, I was still stressing with my people on the beach!
