After Millet



After The Gleaners.Jean-Francois Millet 1857
14 cm x 10 cm acrylic on paper

Tuesday's class at SARA Hall. Using a limited palette of 3 primaries and white, paint a well known picture. Use the painting as a starting point only, make the colours your own but try to keep to the tonal values. Keep the painting strokes to a minimum and take it just beyond the block in stage. Try to spend no more than an hour on the study.

After Susan Lyon


Both studies 24 cm x 19 cm acrylic on paper.


Practice at painting edges and keeping the paint loose and clean, painted roughly in the style of the excellent Susan Lyon. I have to say its quiet challenging in acrylics as opposed to oils as you have to work quicker to maintain the integrity of the edges.
