This lesson was inspired by a painting of palm trees by John Singer Sargent. I was interested in the variety of dark hues Sargent worked into his painting as well as the calligraphic brush strokes he used to represent palm fronds. We began with lesson by looking at Sargent's work and copying a bit of one of his palm paintings. Then was worked on a painting of palms from a photograph using his style.
Lavonne worked with a series of palms and used lots of warm darks.
Selma concentrated on one tree in front of a waterfall.
Celine has a pair of palms balanced by a small hill.
Carrie came up with a very stylized row of trees leaving lots of white areas.
