Lesson 29 Designing with Chair Shapes

In this lesson we began with photographs of chairs and experimented cropping them to make the most pleasing arrangement of shapes within a rectangle window.


Emily focused in on a row of chairs and chose a long narrow format.

Alice used only one chair and repeated the vertical lines in the chair in the background trees.


This painting is not finished but I like the way Barbara treated the chair, table and vase as one dark blue shape.


Herching cropped into sections of two chairs to create an interesting design of brown and yellow shapes.
