composition and painting



Here are a couple in-class demo paintings I did on Monday and Tuesday at the Art Center College of Design. I like this set up because the lighting is quite different, rather than use the lighting spotlight all the time, I like to have the students paint the figures by the ambient fluorescent light of the room which has a very soft, cool effect in contrast to the hard, warm spotlight. My goal with these was to get the color notes right to get the 'real' feeling rather than relying on detail and rendering. oil on paper, 14 by 13 and 20 by 16
