3 November 2009



Our first (oil) painting session at college.  We were just doing colour mixing exercises, so nothing worth photographing for the blog.  We learned lots of useful things though, including that colour theory is an artificial construct, and that colours are symbolic and cultural, so this influences how we perceive them.   So cool!  So we don't have to worry about colour theory, just paint what we see, or want to paint.  Huzzah!  Really pleased with this Nigella, by the way - so different from oils.
