Adult Painting Class 5 (FINAL): ‘Vibrant Autumn’ by Graham Gercken
What We Accomplished This was such a fun painting! We learned how to draw one point perspective, how to paint fog and how to pop vibrant fall colors so they look like you can touch them.

What We Accomplished: We thought we were going to be able to add the fall foliage this time, but we realized soon enough that we couldn't rush the trees, and branches -- despite how insignificant they seem to be in the final version. Julia Childs says "Never crowd the mushrooms." I say "Never rush the […]
Adult Painting Class 2: ‘Vibrant Autumn’ by Graham Gercken
What We Accomplished: In our version of Gerken's painting, we worked to complete the background. The balance between painting fog and painting the background so it looked as it was getting further away was a really fun challenge.
