Diane Mannion, White Rose, 6x6" oil
SOLD
"Paint a white rose using red, yellow, blue and white." I believe in throwing my students into the deep in of the pool no matter what level they are! After this project... everything else will seem easy. I managed to get an ultramarine blue underpainting demo down in class but spent the rest of the time helping suffering artists. Amazing results were achieved by a few! I know how difficult this project is because I struggled a lot when I finished it later. Pushed everyone to push their technique, including myself. Remember, it's just practice for the next one.
Great colors! Sounds like a wonderful exercise. Your students are lucky to have you!

ReplyDeleteI like that philosophy that every piece is practice for the next one. And those aren't just empty words, it's very true. With every new piece I know a little bit more about what's going to happen and how to fix problems, etc. I hope your students appreciated your wisdom. The painting is lovely! I like how you made the white with the blues and yellows. It has great depth and richness!
