| "Classical Painting Atelier" wip, oil, 24"h x 18"w, ©Jill Banks 2012 |
When my students realized that there wasn't any way they were going to see it come together, they asked me to finish (or more fully develop) one part. I chose concentrating on the book in the scene, "Classical Painting Atelier" by Juliette Aristedes. As they watched me paint the portrait on the book cover, I wasn't hearing overwhelming praise. I won't repeat any of the comments.
I think it's just fine ... and I like the introduction of a dark and portrait elements with the book. If I developed it more it would jump forward in the scene. Not what I'd want.
In addition to liking it as an object, the book tells a story about the painting. It's pulled from the classroom library. It places all those gourds and brussel sprouts at the scene.
That's enough for this post. It's been a long day.

I loved the class today. I learned a lot and laughed even more. You got quite a bit more done after we left. It looks great. I can't wait to see it at class next week.
