Copycat assignment

Jesse Reno's Painting

This is my copycat painting

For the final week of the course 'Discover What's Inside' we were asked to find a painting we liked and to copy it. Actually very hard to do! I chose this one by Jesse Reno because I love the colours and the quirkyness. But it's been very difficult. You'd imagine that copying is easy, after all it's all planned out for you - but no!!

I learned a lot from this piece, in particuar how little snatches of unexpected colour give it zing.

I still have two paintings to do, one is my own interpretation of this, and then a final 'all my own work' - what a challenge!

First Assignment Picture

This painting is based on a mark-making picture and a story drawing. This was a real challenge beause it's so very far removed from my painting style but that's why I'm taking this marvellous course!

Farmhouses Painting

I've been doing a bit of painting and wanted to experiment with a very limited palette. I chose grey, white, black and burnt umber. Here's the result:

Watercolour Painting
