OBJECTS TO ABSTRACTS
6. STARTING OUR PAINTINGS
KEY POINTS
We will work on four paintings simultaneously
You can choose the colours of paint you would like to use in your painting and how you set up your own palette.
I tend to start with a limited palette of white, red, blue and yellow and add colours as I go, but this is all down to personal preference
We will prepare four pieces of paper with a coloured ground or background. Choose a mid to light toned colour and paint all four pieces of your paper with the same colour and let it dry
We will use all our drawings to help us with our paintings
Two of our paintings will start with some under-drawing or underpainting
Two of our paintings will start with intuitively building up layers of paint and texture
