Art Masterclass 2 - Painting!

Today we had a visit from Graham McKenzie-Smith for the second of our art masterclasses. Last week we were looking at drawing techniques and this week we were moving onto painting!
We began by talking about foreground and background. we prepared a backdrop for our painting by dividing a page into two and painting it two contrasting colours to make the background and foreground clear.
We then did a sketch of the still life in front of us remembering some of the drawing techniques from last week. After this was finished we used watecolours to paint our drawing. We finished them off with black fineline pens and stuck our drawings onto our prepared backgrounds.
We were all delighted by what we had managed to produce!

It was fun!
