Watercolour Washes

Our John Bramston artists have been busy with water colours. Over a few weeks we have been 'building up' a watercolour landscape painting. We began with a 'wash' to create a moody sky, then added detail. I'm sure you'll agree the finished paintings are great!

Pavement drawings




We have been looking at the work of Pavement Artist, Julian Beever. He uses perspective and colour mixing to create life-like anomalies on pavements.





We have been busy creating our own works of art on the pavement.

Pointillism inspired by Georges Seurat

We have been looking at the works of artist Georges Seurat. We found out that his style of painting is called Pointillism. He uses paint in dots of pure colour and relies on the brain of the viewer to mix the colours. We were very tempted to mix the paint on the paper, and found it hard to paint only in dots. However, the results look great!
