acrylic real life studies

In the Landscape and Still Life camp, the campers had the opportunity to create an acrylic painting from real life.

I had set up a group of objects in the middle of the table and told the kids they could pick as many or as few of the items that they wanted. There were flowers, onions, bananas, lemons, asparagus, grapes and a cutting board.

Each camper was given a piece of charcoal to lightly sketch on their paper until they were happy with the composition and then began by creating an underpainting using the complimentary colors of the final colors they would be choosing. For fun I challenged them to work with a white only background.

The results were beautiful.
