Our BEAUTIFUL Irises...(and last post for the year)

If you've looked at our blog, you will know we have been doing observational drawings. We have finally finished our beautiful purple and yellow irises! They are all stunning and unique. We worked so hard to look at the shape, colours, textures, shades and tones. We are going to give our paintings to someone we love for Christmas. 

 

Observational Drawing & Still Life

We have been doing observational drawing using different mediums including pencil, pastel and paint. We are practising drawing 'what we actually see' not 'what we think we see'. First of all, we look at the outline of the object's shape. We can add detail through different shades and we can add dimension through light (white) and dark (black) or through using different depths of shading and creating shadow so that it looks 3 dimensional.
