Fall 2019 Teen Oil Painting

I introduced our class with a theme of "Medieval" but everyone was too excited to work on their own ideas so I did a demonstration and then let them loose! I love seeing the creativity and enthusiasm of these oil painting students! Castle Demonstration First I started with a demo of a value study of my composition as the underpainting. As I went along we talked about color properties and also how to work from a photograph. Here's the finished painting. Here's a look at the student's work during the 8 weeks of class.

The Teen Draw class focused on a Medieval theme this past fall. We did three projects in the 6 week class. Here's a look at each one and a few of the concepts the kids worked on. "Corvin's Castle" in Graphite pencil This castle was quite complicated. It is found in Romania and I was able to get some great photographs of it while I visited there back in May. We discovered that drawing from a photograph is not always great because of weird skewing and 3 point perspective that happens when you take pictures of architecture. So we had to flatten out the parts of the castle that were skewed and learn about 3 D shapes that the castle is made up of. After a contour line drawing then we started adding shading, concentrating on 3 or 4 values and keeping the shading consistent. We could of spent another 2 weeks on this project but the kids were ready to move on after a few sessions! Very intense work for this age group! They did a great job. "Knig
