As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I am working on a series of identification plates for the ornithological magazine Anser. It is about the different plumages of the Northern Pintail Duck, which are a bit more complicated than usually depicted in books. This is what they look like in late summer: adult male, adult female, and juvenile.

Croquis painting
Last Monday it was time for some croquis painting - one of the most difficult things within drawing and painting probably because it involves so many parts of it: colour mixing, perspective, figure drawing ... We also experimented with different light conditions.The brain consumes loads of energy when we do something as complicated as this and I think we were all pretty tired after these three hours. But I also think we learned a lot. Great job, everybody!
Next: impressionism.

Back to basics

I find it much more rewarding to get back to basics than to try to achieve perfection. On Monday's watercolor class at Folkuniversitetet we worked with light, shade, and gloss to build volumes on the paper. I did this jug as a demonstration, the light coming from all directions which makes it a bit tricky - and fun! Next time we will do landcapes.
