In the next term we will get some good observation exercises in
Foliage studies , flowers and a drapery day squeezed in somewhere by request!
We havent really ever studied foliage and thanks to our resident plant person Jo Turner who brought in a cornucopia of interesting plants we now are inspired.
With big vigorous ginger plants and palm leaves contrasted with some different flaxes and contrasting textures i think it will make some interesting paintings
Your job is to go to the garden centre and buy a couple of interesting plants , or bring in a palm leaf etc etc
it will get you noticing plants in general over the next few weeks…and remember always to ask if you see a particularly good leaf or two coming over the neighbours fence!
And if foliage really doesn’t blow your hair back, you can always paint some flowers instead!
The drapery exercise we will squeeze in somewhere…always a good skill to learn as it challenges us to see what is really going on rather than what we think it there!
look forward to next term
