2/8 Class - Thumbnails and blocking in colors


Class last week was more than a little frustrating for me. I guess that's why I haven't posted about it sooner. So here's my list of things that frustrated me:


1) I wasn't paying attention when the still life was set up and got a bad location. I was getting supplies out and looking at handouts before I realized she had set it up in a different location than what I was anticipating. I was able to adjust and found a spot very close to where I had originally set up, I just had to look "between" two other people.


2) I had a very nice composition sketched up and it didn't transfer well. I am going to work on that first thing this week.


3) I am very disapointed with my colors. I have had time this week to think about what is disappointing me and I have decided it's the pastel coloring. The table cloth is a pastel purple while the vase, upside down pot and cup behind the vase are a brownish terra cotta color. Pastel colors are NOT my thing. I have something in mind to change the palette to. My goal today is to find some examples to take in and discuss with the instructor. I have to if I want to truly learn in this class.
