Encourage & Explore

Happy trees and more...

Last Wednesday evening our thoughts were on spring blossoms, honouring trees, and noticing how they spring from the earth and reach for the sky. The light is still good at 7:00 when students arrive, so we risked mosquitos (it wasn't too bad) and took a little walk in the woods for inspiration. And inspired we were!
On Saturday I took the time also to paint another night scene. I will really have to explore this more fully sometime from my own images. This study (acrylic on water colour paper) used a resource pic from the internet (a Paris street in the rain).

I started off with a simple line drawing, then used a credit card to block in colour, starting from the lightest value. The darks provide the structure and definition.

Below is the quick 15 minute study/demo I created of a park bench. I can smell the rain on the grass!
