Embroidered Collage

I actually painted a picture that I like in this final session and enjoyed the process.  No aargh at all.  I got into it as soon as class began.  I looked and compared and painted and looked and compared and painted.  I didn't agree with Jim on a number of things about my first set of colors, but once I fixed the incorrect relationships that I did see, then his comments made more sense and I was able to implement his suggestions.   Jim also did a demo for us, similar to the first week, but this time we knew what we were looking for.

This has been a very successful six weeks for me.  I've learned a great deal about color relationships, how to show light and shadow, and how to mix paints.  I know what questions to ask myself to start interpreting light into pigment.  I'm interested in trying some abstracts and seeing how the color usage applies.  I'm interested in working with the paintings I created and seeing what type of finished works I can come up with.  I'm also looking forward, as always, to Mixed Media's next set of class listings.
