This lesson had two goals. First we wanted to make a blob of paint look like a group of rocks. We did this by using sharp edges, creating texture, wiping or scraping out light planes and adding dark accents. The second problem was to consider compositional arrangements of dark rocks and white rushing water. We began by playing with cut out paper shapes to get ideas for possible layouts. Finally we developed one of these designs into a painting. Here are a few of the results.
Karen used a credit card to scrape out planes and texture on her rocks.
Kazuyo's rocks are defined by lines and dark accents.
Bev's rocks with the orange colors and square tops suggest the southwest.
Carol used a palette knife for her texture and created an interesting variety of rock shapes and sizes.
