Painting

Students looked at the paintings of contemporary  artist Janet Fish.

Part I 
     The students used a view finder to focus on interesting sections of a still life. They created thumbnail sketches of 4 or 5 views, and sketched their best views on canvas.


Part II
   Students completed a series of exercises which required them to mix tints, shades, and complements of colors. They practiced  blending acrylic paints on scrap paper. When their practice papers were approved they began painting on the canvas focusing on the many shades and colors they observed.
