@burvantill the value studies were really good, thinking back. Now bringing it forward I want to find both more children's book backgrounds and a collection of landscape backgrounds (separate) to value study like this. Maybe I can squeeze it in this week before starting the magic of colour class (then post it here next Wednesday).

Good work on progressing through all this!

Draw a couch from the shapes provided. Homework from workbook 2.
My gma had wood furniture like this. I inherited her chair. The cushions were too old and they fell apart but the wood is still beautiful. The cushion material wasn’t patterned like this but i wouldn’t have been surprised if it had been. Orange and olive green were a common occurrence in her house.

@burvantill I just started going through the class, but I'll post what I do as I work on it. Here are my building silhouettes, this definitely didn't come naturally to me and some of them are still a bit unclear.

[burvantill]

@Braxton Great shapes! I think this was my favorite part of the class. Silhouettes.
I think the first column 3rd row is my personal favorite.

[Braxton]

@burvantill thanks! It was cool to look at yours and see things I totally didn’t think of. On to trees next...

[Heather Boyd]

@Braxton I like the long legged spider or on stilts house.

Another shape building exercise. Make a building from these shapes

Instead of an office building like I’ve seen others do i wanted to build a big house.

This is a master study of a “house” painted by James C. Christensen.
Make a study of a building by a favorite artist. Focus on proportion and shape.

@burvantill

Hi so I just decided to show you my best 4 on here, when I did them last year, if that's alright. Because you asked to see them. I had soooo much fun in spite of the challenge lols.

[burvantill]

@Heather-Boyd These are great! Thankyou for sharing.

Making little greyscale versions was a great idea. I may steal that.

Eyvind Earle value and composition study

Pascal Campion value and composition study

[burvantill]

Maxfield Parrish value and composition study

[burvantill]

The next assignment was to create my own value and composition environment. I did three because I was having trouble. It was way easier to do the copies than to make up my own.

[burvantill]

I finished the last assignment!
Take an element from the previous subjective assignment and make an objective study of it. I used the tiny cabin from my third value and composition image. It’s a thatched roof that slopes toward the back. I’m hoping that comes across and doesn’t just look like a perspective issue. Lol.

Anyway, I’m done. How’s that perspective group comin’ @Braden-Hallett ?

[TessaW]

Woohoo! Well done! Congrats on finishing the class. I started this one a while back and stopped after the first assignment.

@burvantill I have yet to do this last assignment -not sure where I will fit it in.

[burvantill]

@Heather-Boyd Keep it simple. I did this while watching Ford v Ferrari with my family. Lol

@Braden-Hallett that I need a review on -never took that class -this month quick review on How to Draw Everything. Your Perspective group -will that be the Objects In Perspective class as well as Master in Perspective and the new Perspective class?
