ma41 ma41 acrylic on A5 paper - oranges for a Matisse style fruit bowl. Put in darker areas and shadows, various colours blues, green and red. Then glazed tarsparent orange
ma52 ma52 acrylic on A5 paper - for a Matisse style fruit bowl. The bowl and the fruit are to small. The bowl is bady rendered and looks childish. Th fruit has also come out unformed. I do like the foreground and background. The paints have mixed and become dull.
ma53 ma53 acrylic on A5 paper - for a Matisse style fruit bowl. Better but still poor. There was meant to be an apple, but it was to samll and bright red, it apperas to be another plum. I don't like background, it is to dark.

ma54 ma55 acrylic on A5 paper - Study of fruit - darks underneath - Put in darker areas and shadows.
ma55 ma56 acrylic on A5 paper - Study of fruit - darks underneath - Add main colours.
Some of the shadow colours work well, but for the plumbs the colours is to dark.

ma42 ma43 acrylic on A4 paper - A Matisse style fruit bowl.
I decided to use the darks over the main colours.
I like the bright colours, the fine brush work is a bit wobbly, but the overall effect is very pleasing.

Relected light from scattered areas would lie within the bounds of the reflected sign.
Paints have no brightness

The best one so far - neon signs need to be well formed and well painted, white in middle then darker hues radiating out.

ba4 Photos of bridge, with Chantry Chapel.
ba41 Photos of bridge, Photoshopped, and combined onto A4 sheet.
ba51 Sketch for final layout. Chantry Chapel is in the correct place, The Hepworth Gallery has been moved for this work.
ba51 Sketch colours, with my selected. But some colours had to be mixed, which did not suit the style so I decided to use a different set of colours. I decided to change the colour of the Hepworth to a brighter / paler colour.
ba21 Canvas board with outline for collage, the numbers are the order to do the collage.
ba22 Collage done.
ba24 ba23 - "22 x 18" - Acrylic over collage. To get very trasparent bright colours I had to use a differnt set of colours from my given set.
I still used Golden OPEN but with - Sap green, Cobolt Turquise, I still used Golden OPEN but with - Sap green, Cobalt Turquoise, Ultramarine Blue, Indian yellow, Manganese Blue Hue, Vandyke Brown with some Pthallo Green (BS).
The Manganese Blue is a brighter blue than I was hoping for, and so starts to disapear into the sky. I had to buy the Turquoise especially for this painting. I thought the Manganese Blue would be paller, I could not find a transparent pale grey.
