impressionist doorway

By Robert Meredith -
This was painted this week as an idea for a future task next term. This was done in acrylic and on watercolour paper A4 size.
This was inspired by artist James Richards.

I hope to try more like this for future exercises.

old window

I love this image as it shows an interesting subject matter and the style is in black and sepia in a loose approach.  This was done in my journal book as a pre sketch in readiness for the classes to have a go.  I may take more time in class to get the proportions correct and the subtle tonal chages.  I used sepia and black watercolour, but could try this in all ink in the future.

Portrait of Pepper

This is an old drawing I was asked to draw for a student's daughter as a birthday gift.  I think I did this in 2017.  I wanted to add to this blog to show how involved something like this is. This was in fact my second attempt as the first one was done by scribing the paper and added graphite to make the hair more realistic, but after spending a week on it still was not right, so this then became a pure graphite attempt, and I was very plased with the likness. I used various pencil grades and I also used an fine pen eraser to create the effect of the lighter fur.  I realy focused on the eys as this is where the likeness really mattered.

This watercolour was inspired from another artist, David Howell. I did this one as a task for some of my classes. The Ariel perspective with layers of colour was a joy to create. I love the colours also. Took about 3.5 hours  to complete.

another demo pen and wash old cottage

By Robert Meredith -

This is a simplistic sketch in ink and blue (Indigo) watercolour wash. This was inspired by an online artist. This is one I intend to show as a digital image later. I love these kinds of images. The method was done  free hand and with a fineliner pen.  The quickness was something I want learners to grasp and try not to get too engrossed in detail but make a sketch rather than a drawing of the image.
