Art Connection - Tuesday 26th November 2024 - Week 117

Hello Everyone

Hope you will join me online this Tuesday where we'll work on using soft pastels to paint a still life. I came across this painting tutorial by Goodnight-Melbourne on Deviant Art website and thought it ideal for us to work on.

We usually meet every Tuesday morning from 11am to 12.15pm to draw/paint together. No experience needed. Complete beginners are very welcome.

1 Kings 17:12

“As surely as the Lord your God lives,” she replied, “I don’t have any bread—only a handful of flour in a jar and a little olive oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it—and die.”

If you are able to print out the image to have it beside you whilst drawing, hopefully you'll find this helpful on the day. Otherwise, you can perhaps view it on your phone as this will allow you to zoom in on the detail also ?
