Leaving Cert Art - Homework for Monday

Fri 6th Nov.


Following on from today's still life painting class I want you to have a look at the following still life paintings which are a mix of traditional and modern still life paintings.  In particular pay attention to the compositions, tone/ light & dark, colour schemes, detail and each artists own unique, original style.
I have added some video links below which feature some tips on beginning an acrylic painting of a still life on canvas..... We will discuss this in the next class.....


Van Gogh's famous work Sunflowers - using a vibrant colourful palette.

                    Van Goghs painting called makeral, lemons & tomatoes....

  Still life by Rembrant - a dark neutral background & foreground - look at the light & level of detail in this work.....


 Still life painted using a colourful palette with loose brush strokes....

  Beautiful composition, light & dark and detail in this painting....
