We were taught how to paint in this class. This was my first time oil painting! Luckily they gave us the basic paint supplies for it. It was about this time I started really liking high key paintings, and I tried my best to create some light value paintings.
Pumpkins
I like this painting I think! The great thing about doing light values is being able to keep a lot of saturation in the darkest parts!
Pots
Learned how to do glazing in this one! Shiny :)
Figure Painting
Plein Air at Prospect Terrace
We went together as a class one day to paint outside! I already knew about and loved plein air paintings but I had never done them until this class. It's quite difficult!
Not sure what the assignment was, but I painted the area besides the canal.
Plein Air Trees
We did one of these each week for four weeks. Honestly I loved this series, and I tried to create different brush strokes in each.
I'm very glad RISD got me oil painting! The cost of supplies to start with and the fact that it had toxic fumes was too much for me to try on my own. But I found that I loved the medium and I want to make so many more paintings!
