We love this painting by student Ann Rae and felt we had to show it here on our college news blog. Ann is studying on our Landscape Painting Diploma Course and has captured an artist painting a portrait of a man in an outdoor scene in her painting.
The overall colour scheme is very natural and Ann has created many wonderful textures with her brush and the oils to convey the different textures within the scene.
We particularly like the light and shade she has created with the darker cooler greens under the artists easel. This helps to allow the easel to stand firmly on the ground and also allow the eye to fall onto the man sitting on the edge of the scene in the sunshine.
There are so many stories the viewer can conjure here and this makes for a superb painting. A piece that you can study and ponder upon. Well done Ann!
