Barbra Knapik has been studying with us at the London Art College on our popular Still Life Online Art Course. Barbra is being guided by our course along with having access to her tutor Alan Dedman online at all times. This is for both her submissions to gain feedback and just incase she has any questions during the course. The paintings below have been completed for one of the exercises in the Still Life course and we are pleased to be able to add them to our blog for everyone to see.
Barbara Said…
I have drawn and painted all my adult life, primarily using watercolour. Though I have latterly enjoyed using soft pastels. I have attended a variety of day and evening classes and followed 2 distance learning courses in drawing and watercolour. I am hoping to experiment with different media after using watercolour for years. I also want to have a greater understanding and application of colour, tone and composition. Finally to develop greater freedom in painting.
We very much like Barbra’s Still Life paintings below and we are enjoying the preliminary studies as much as the finished paintings. The limited pallets Barbra is using are excellent and really convey a sense of serenity her work. We also love the way she has created the strong blue colour in the glass jar and used orange as an opposite colour in the colour wheel for the accompanying fruits. We are looking forward to seeing more from Barbra in the coming weeks and months.
