Saturday 19 February 2011




Course work: Further work on the background for Project 3: Painting a Flower or Plant, using the color mixtures of 16 February.



Reading and theoretical studies:



Douglas Cooper Toulouse-Lautrec

Harry N. Abrams, Inc., New York, 2004

Pp. 86-126

(Toulouse-Lautrec was an interesting painter, draughtsman, and lithographer who died too soon: one wonders what he would have accomplished had he lived another thirty years. It is also interesting to speculate on whether his handicaps contributed to his work or deterred it. This





book has a reasonable amount of text to give an introduction to the painter, and a nice collection of full-page full color plates.)



Sketchbook work: Four small sketches of the changing shadows on a pile of builder’s sand, seen as the day progressed.







Time today: 1 hour 54 minutes
