Day 15: painting from a model

model 2

This month I’m taking a painting course where each week we work on a different genre popular with the Scottish Colourists. This week we had a live model dressed in floral prints and a big hat of the type often seen in Colourist paintings. In the class I work in acrylics on cardboard, a combination with which I struggle sometimes, but it is good for me to get out and try different things.

For next week I need to think about what I want to work on as a final project for the course. One idea is possibly a self portrait (maybe in a big hat, too), but I’m not sure yet. I borrowed a bunch of Colourist books from the library, which I’ll be flipping through to find some inspiration.
