Here are my pears from day 1. Towards the end of the day, we put them all up on the wall and critiqued them. Either we have a very good and talented bunch of artists or Carol is a fantastic teacher because they all looked pretty darned good!
The shadow shape was intensified with more Quin Burnt Orange and a bit of violet. Carol uses Holbein Mineral Violet but I use only Daniel Smith color so I mixed Alizarin Crimson and French Ultramarine Blue on my palette, then dropped that in closest to the pears. I was pleased with this but thought the red pear looked a bit less lively than the others.
But no worries - today we painted flowers and I chose a magnolia photo I've done before. Today, I did it more in the Carol Carter way but not as bold with the colors or intensity. That's okay, though. Only Carol Carter can paint like Carol Carter :)
Going out to eat with a few of the classmates so will post today's stuff and photos later...stay tuned!
