the sun was out and the students lounged in the sunshine
there was plenty to look at that would make an interesting painting or two
also some wonderful sub tropical plantings which would make Carl Maughan pay attention
also on the way there i experienced the “barn Dance” of pedestrians…
Plenty of images in which to find that “frisson of possibility” in
This term I want to get everyone in tune with relating their figures to the surroundings and i have come up with a number of exercises which we can do this with on that first day in the hall
I also want to get people attuned to the possibilities of cropping
