Edges, Surface and Paint Handling

 

We had our last Modern Painting class this week
where we talked about
edges, surface and paint handling.

This is such a personal and individual topic,
it’s not really something you can teach
so we all just experimented with new tools.
The first exercise was to do four small
paintings of a simple object;
each using a different application such as;
thick and thin paint, straight lines, adding sketch lines,
incorporating colors from background into the object,
using odd viewpoint,
scrape, squeegee, add paper etc.
Here are my samples:

And here are some of the amazing results:

As always, I learned so much from the students
and had great fun working with them.
It was wonderful to be back
teaching in person again!
