Been super busy with commissions lately. This is a demo I did a couple of weeks ago for my class. I was explaining negative space, which is the space between things. In this piece it is the 'air' inside the cup handle. It was a rough, quick demo, just to give them an idea. They got it, all right. I think I must have super-geniuses in my class - look at their pieces below. These guys have only had the feel of the brush in their hands for LESS than 4 months. They were painting my husband's great grandfather's lunch pail.
Wonderful paintings by all! I loved learning about negative space- a hugely helpful tool for sure! Lucky students and they have a talented teacher!
ReplyDeletethey did great!
ReplyDeleteYou are an awesome teacher.
Love, love , love this piece! Students are a reflection of the teacher. If the students are super geniuses, then the teacher must be!
ReplyDeleteKelley, Great work, yours and the students! Sounds like a fun class, especially with you as the teacher!!
ReplyDeleteGreat demo painting--I know your students are really enjoying this class. Wish I could be in it.
ReplyDeleteGreat lesson for your students on negative space. I am so impressed that you have this lunch pail! I always wondered where the words "lunch pail"came from and now... after seeing this, it makes sense! What a treasure!!
