We've been painting still lifes in my class at theartdepartment.org. I've been really into observing light at different times of day, and so I was excited by our assignment to paint the same object twice, but in different lighting.
So, I took to the top of the street, and painted our rusty, old fire hydrant. Once, as it looked at sunset, and again, in the early morning.
Honestly, I'm really not happy with the result, but this is supposed to be a progress blog, so here it is. Too yellow, clumsy brushstrokes, and I rushed the drawing, so I really struggled with painting the hydrant's ellipses once the paint got fat. I'm on to the next project, but I'll be back to this topic.
