October "Apples"





Well the "brush-ka-teers" were at it again last night. The topic was pumpkins. At first they all looked like basketballs! They eventually came around! Ha! The first one is Bernie's. He did it in acrylics instead of oils and really nailed it. I watched him and it was interesting to see his brush strokes so precise as if he was still painting with oil paint. Very cool. The next is Mitchel's. Once again his impressionistic side shows. I really liked his use of color in this one. Stephen on the other hand took artistic license and pretended his pumpkins were in a field. He did a great job of pulling that one off. Lastly is mine. The thing that I really learned was to break up the background with the complimentary color to the subject using the same tonal value. That was a lesson Stephen gave me last night. I know that will come in handy a lot! As always, feel free to comment, Dean
