Extreme Composition, lesson 5

Another painting from lesson 5, random marks.  I will be posting the work from lesson 6 tomorrow.  That means that the course is over.  I have enjoyed it very much, although it has been very hard work.  I think I have probably made over 100 pieces of work in the six weeks, not including the paintings which I have posted in between the lessons.

Extreme Composition, lesson 5

Another piece from lesson 5, I think this one works better than yesterday.  I find it quite difficult to work on this size of paper.

Extreme Composition, lesson 5 random marks

In lesson 5 of the Extreme Composition online workshop with Jane Davies we began by making random marks all over the sheet, then isolated two areas with a viewfinder and developed them in different ways.  We then had to bring these two areas together into one whole painting, which was much harder than it sounds, and it sounds hard!

Half way through February already, and I am still managing to keep going.
