Fruit and Flower Studies

Lemon with Blue Cooking Pot - Emma (9)

Emma decided to study a painting that caught her eye
and re-created a wonderful artistic impression of it.

Fruit Bowl - Paul (10)

The fruit used in the still life scene wasn't actually real
but Paul makes it very colorful and real.

Apples - Carrie (14)

A close-up study of the color and texture of apples.

Flowers - Carrie (14)
A study of light and luminosity.

Glass, Pottery and Drapery

Pat photographed various lighting and viewpoints of a still life scene. A small glass bottle and ceramic vase with a muslin fabric backdrop soon became colorful works of art. Each student chose a photo to paint from and then began filling their canvases with beautiful strokes in realism and abstract, color and texture, light and shadow. Pat participated by doing a painting too. Enjoy the wonderful variety in this art gallery!
