This study shows the general shapes and coloring of an apple from above (painting 1) and looking at it from the front (painting 2).

At the early stage I tried to keep everything quite simple .

I need only one painting for this task and i decided to make two from different angels, so that I can compare and choose the one which I like. Sofar  I am thinking about the painting 3. as it has more contrast in green colour and the shadow is darker . From the other hand the painting 4. has more depth in the background but the task was about an apple as an object so my choice is simple. I am going to select the painting number 3.

4:Painting In Three Dimension

While I was waiting for some space on the table to make Project 1 (  two drawings of books in three dimension) I decided to not to waist my time and move on with Project 2.

 Project 2: Solidity
Stage 1: Drawing an Apple

I have made few drawings on paper size A3 of an apple, I have used  a charcoal for this task. 

Still I don 't know which 4 of them I am going to use in my portfolio.

3: Using Colour to describe Objects- final painting

I manage to put everything together and finished my Project 2 . I am quit happy with my final result.

   I have achieved what I wanted. The picture1. shows the subtlety and depth of colour that I tried to achieved by using different temperature of gray colour. I like the hand bag in the right top corner as it has warm and cold gray. I spent quite a lot of time on this task, I was studding and analysing every part of that still nature to be sure that I am pleased with it. I was painting only when I had a day light in my small art studio.
Cant wait to move to another project:)

3.Using Colour to Describe Objects

Project 2

drawing 1.

This is my painting in progress, I tried  to put everything all together but after a while I noticed some mistakes.

First of all I would like to make my glass  a bit straighter  and less shiny. Another issue is the temperature of colour around the nectarine, then the shape of  the black scissors. Moreover I am not pleased with the pink glass and thes shape of the shoe. The glass has the same brush strokes as the gray hand bag on the right side. I should work on a wider variety of my brush strokes on that part of my painting. 

3: Using colour to describe objects - project 1

This is my project 1, it is finished and I am happy with the result.  I like quick and rapid brushwork, I used only basic colours and moreover I used pure BLACK paint which for me is unusual.  I treat this as a sketch which should help me to understand the next step of this project. The next step is a painting of the same group of objects. I know I will go into details and will try to capture real colours.

This is project 3 stage 2, drawing a few flowers. I used charcoal thinner than before and to be honest I found it much easier to show details.  I haven’t made a decision which one I’m going to put in my portfolio but I still have time for this.

drawing 3

I know that it should be a sketch but I am concerned that sometimes my objects seem to float in the middle of the page.  Sometimes I don't know if few lines are enough to describe a space.  I hope the simple lines in the background are enough.
 

Using Colour to describe Object

Project 1.  A Colour Study

In this project focus on colors, on how I can utilize them to define a block. This will be quite a challenge since that I have a pattern of images Frank Auerbach who is well know how to use the broad brush strokes in the image.

When I look at the first stage of my work, I see a few places over which I have to work on. I pointed them in the drawing No.2. I want my second plan paint with rapid brush strokes and the color was vivid and clear. Another thing which bothers me, is the color of tangerines, it is not clear enough.
