2 Months summary of a new art course

I started to study at a new art course two months ago. It's called "Developing work processes and studying the importance of composition". The teachers are contemporary Israeli artists Ran Tenenbaum and Guy Avital . They both are interesting and inspiring. 

I feel that I am breaking my own art boundaries and study a lot from each lesson. 

It's intensive and hard but fresh, inspiring and overwhelming at the same time. 

Here is a selection of studies and sketches I did for the last past two months. All from the same exercise. 

All the canvases are done in oils, some papers are acrylics and pencil/pastels.

This is the unfinished final study I did for this exercise. the painting itself  took 8 hours of work.
Oils on 50x70cm canvas.

They all connected by their composition to this painting of Edgar Dega, which was the key picture in this exercise.

"The Dance Class" 1873

As you may see I am experimenting and keep study with every new lesson. This course is different from that I am used to, but I feel that I needed that push in to the contemporary 21st century art. The realistic and illustrative art is great but in order to take a spot in contemporary art you have to experiment and go abstract most of the time, So I am testing and learning. 

Wish me luck! And I wish you luck as well! :)
