16 hours - character in interior assignment

A summary of the past four weeks of the art course = 16 hours

First meeting was to draw a model with different kinds of exercises. Fun but not worth to show here.

Second meeting assignment was to create with (oils on canvas) a room with earth colors only limited palette (almost without any reference, just general pictures of interiors).

 I don't like it at all but it was a start for the next session.
Oils on canvas 90x70cm


Third meeting - I started a new and bigger version of the previous assignment, 
this is a big one 1.5x1 meters

Fourth meeting - the final result, I added the characters and more colors.
The character is the model we drew/photographed on the first session, and of course I had to add a dog there on the carpet!
I love the size, the colors, the versatility and the dog!


Versatility was my weak point bit now I am working on it and improving it. I also try to step out of the fixation on the realism that I used to have.

This course opens and leads to so many interesting doors and paths for me as an artists and a teacher, and I am glad for that.

That's it for now!
