Landscape practices since Feb 2012

Landscape is an area that I avoided for long because of lack of interest and expertise as well. This year I finally decided that it's time to fill this void in my professional training. Below are studies I did so far.

still life exercises with palette knives

I have been trying to use only knives for painting for the past few days. Didn't spend much time on each one but I did enjoy the process.
I feel that I am still trying to use knives to achieve the same effects that brushes would achieve. Exercise more, and I shall become freer with knives.

still life painting #11: low key


missed #10: high key.
haven't been painting for a while. wasn't proud of the homework that i rushed yesterday. thank goodness it's just in progress work. final version due next week.
had fun with the low key set up.
struggled with metal colors in the morning. adam came to help. made me realize the importance of cad. orange and burnt umber. went to the store across street to get my own tube of cad. orange right after the class.

still life painting #8: patterned objects II

March 30.
Patterned object again. This time it's multi-colored.
it was all good until I started to paint the pattern. From there the painting just got out of control.
Well, for one thing, I should have painted the vase bigger.

first show opening on march 10

still life painting #6: highly reflective metal

reflections of objects (on the metal) should be darker.




still life painting assignment: 3 objects

not much of a success. things i did wrong:
1. used a preprimed cheap linen without adding a few coats of gesso.
2. used a bright red cloth as background and dark violet as tabletop.
3. at the block in stage, started with shadows that're not dark enough in value.

still life painting #5: colored glass and folds

the folds were frustrating, as i spent most of the day working on them. the fruits? done in the very last couple of minutes. and i started to like the piece, despite its incompleteness, as soon as the fruits were painted in. i guess all the efforts in the folds are just lengthy warm-up for the true colors.
