Thursday 9th May

Today at Artclub we painted the pictures of fruit for the wall paintings we are creating for Stanhope Community Centre.


First we looked at the oil pastel drawings we did last week of fruit to remind us of the glorious colours we saw.  Then we drew out the outlines of the fruit on to white fabric.


We were working in groups of three or four and together decided which colours to use in the paintings. 



Everyone was encouraged to paint the fruit with bold brush strokes as we really wanted to create vibrant colours and a sense of movement.

 
We had to be speedy but that helped us to not over work the paintings and we have had some splendid results.
 

Next week we will be concentrating on the backgrounds.


Take a look at the paintings drying...
