Our fourth lesson for the first week was a 10 minute green sketch using some green items found around the house. It's neat to see in the member's gallery what people painted. I had fun with this assignment.

Online Green Workshop
I'm enjoying the online Going Green workshop given by Vinita Pappas very much. I knew I would. Vinita is such a wonderful instructor and has a very pleasant way of delivering what she wants to say. She also makes sure we get all we can out of her workshops, so she's kept us busy with lessons and homework. She has it set up so we can submit photos or scans of our work which go into a "member's gallery" for us all to see. I've really enjoyed reading the member introductions from people all over the world. Vinita said there are participants from 16 countries. The internet is amazing.
Well, I'm going to share my color charts and my green sketch here. For the charts we chose 4 different yellows/ochres and mixed EACH with 5 different blues/turquoises, resulting in four charts. I got a little better at making smooth gradations as I proceeded with this. Mostly it was enlightening to see all the great grays happening which will be very useful. I need to remember how to get them. It would be helpful to do this with more colors.

would really have liked to do this workshop but couldn't justify the cost at the moment - I'm a big admirer of Vinita Pappas and love her style and she has a lovely way of teaching from what I've seen in her demos. Thank you for sharing a little bit of what you've been doing, have always meant to do these charts - not just for greens but for other colours and to right notes to myself when I find a colour combination that works for me. Enjoy the rest of the course - love your painting of green things!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharon! You're right that we should do these charts with our colors, but, doing charts just doesn't sound like fun. Easy to put off...measuring and taping, etc. So it was really good to have the incentive of it being "homework". I enjoyed seeing the colors I was getting after I finally got going with it.
DeleteSherry - Thanks for the tip on Vinita's course. I'm really enjoying it too and will probably add a write-up about it in my blog as well. Glad you got out of it as much as I did. Vinita is definitely a great teacher and makes it fun too at the same time. xx
ReplyDeleteI haven't finished watching all Vinita's videos for today yet. Wish I had scenery like she has!
DeleteLovely green painting Sherry! I think, I will take her next workshop.
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen! Vinita makes it fun and informative.
