snow-scapes: negative space

It's lovely to back at St Annes Library!

We started by looking at work by Bruegel, Hiroshige and Sisley and found the pallets for their work were restricted to very dark and very light contrasting colours which were almost monochrome, warmed by a subtle brown/orange.

Bruegal "Hunters in the Snow"

Hiroshige "Travellers in the Snow"

Sisley "The Watering Place at Marly-le-Roi

Using a book on cottages as a starting point, thumb nail sketches were made of possible compositions placing the chosen building into an imagined landscape.  One of these was selected to make a larger snow scene using dark, negative shapes/space to depict the shape of snowy roofs, paths etc.

The lovely work is below - well done everyone!
