Week 4

Impressionists! That's who we had to try and mimic this week. Eeeeek!!! We were given books of famous artists....mine was Monet. (I just happen to love his work so that suited me fine).

I chose one of his paintings from the book 'Monet & Japan'. It's called 'A cart on the snowy road at Honfleur' painted in 1865.

Here is the original....

 

I felt a bit freaked out by this class...mainly because I find it so hard to get my head around painting in this style....it's something I really would love to be able to do though.

We used our view finders and picked out a part we'd like to have a go at painting....

this is the beginning of my painting....(acrylics)

so far I've only really put in the shapes...

..as you can see I have a long way to go before its finished!!!

Hopefully I'll have it done in time for next weeks class.....

...as if...!
