A Series of Torturous Paintings

In my watercolor class, Sandy Maudlin is torturing us!

She is having us do a series of 7 paintings - yes, 7 of them! - from the same photograph. We must choose

1) a major design element

2) a compositional element and

3) a unifying color.

And we must choose these three things seven different times for 7 different paintings. So....

Week One (Chocolate Pots).

Not too difficult because I chose

1) Shape

2) Cruciform

and

3) Cerulean Blue

Week Two (Checkerboard Pots).

Not as fun and breezy because I chose:

1) Size

2) Checkerboard

and

3) Viridian

Week Three (Pointillistic Pots).

What? Yep. Crazy! Because I chose:

1) Direction

2) Horizontal

and

3) Lunar Red Rock + Sap Green (got tired of just choosing one color)

And this is just number 3!!!! We have 4 more to go!!! Help!!!! My next elements are chosen and they are

1) Color

2) Pyramidal

and

3) Quinacridone Violet. I'm a dead woman....I don't think I can do this 4 more times so I'm just going to focus on this one - just this one - hey, I can do color! I can do a pyramid shape! I can put in Quin Violet. One painting at a time, right?
