Day 3:
Lesson 7: Negative Space
Lesson 8: Light source and shadows

This first one was the negative space exercise. Take the blue paint, now paint all of the negative space first. Then use the yellow paint and the blue paint together to mark the edges correctly, then use the yellow paint for the objects, and then finally mix in a bit of blue and yellow together to give it some shape.


Next was the light source and shadows, just give some more definition to the work we started last week.

I'm done with this, I don't want to work on it any longer. It is what it is.

The teenage girl showed up yet again, to my surprise.

I would say about two sevenths of the class had trouble wrapping their mind around the idea of negative space. I think my writing exploration of the inane helps me to understand such concepts with relative ease.

Wow, that came up really well. Bottle is a tad lopsided but that's OK they look like that once you've emptied on all by yourself.

Thanks Deb.

Getting the curve of where the neck meets the body of the bottle symmetrical is the biggest challenge of this whole thing. I'm pretty satisfied as to how it turned out.
