Week 5 - Shoes

2/4/2014

Final day of "Shoe Week".  This was an interesting challenge.  I find that at times I have a picture in my head but it is not always easy putting it on a canvas... it doesn't always look like it did in my head.  

So what did I learn this week?  I think I learnt a bit more about shading and perspective.  I learnt that I like to keep things up-beat and fun... although I think I already knew that.  I also enjoyed using red... it is in each painting in some form or shade... red is a good colour.

Tomorrow I am going to do portraits.  I seem to say this at the beginning of every week, but I am a bit fearful of portraits.... lots of shading, skin tones, and getting the symmetry of the face right.  I will use celebrity faces from magazines so my paintings won't be what I would consider.... originals.... but it will be a good practice week for me.... who knows what I will come up with.
