Assemblage improvement

Here are a couple of exercises from Fall Term watercolor class.

The third image (sent by my wonderful instructor) is a Photoshopped version of the assemblage shown in previous post. She electronically replaced a very messy background with white.

The plain background holds the assemblage together surprisingly well.

Class exercise using salt and sponge

Timed exercise on primed cardboard

Final project revisited -- what a difference a plain backdrop makes. 19 people can make a composition in five minutes!

More "All Hands on Deck"

Quick works from my Fall Term watercolor class:

Timed painting of a model who came to our class

Abstract with trilobite - class exercise

Detail from "All Hands on Deck" assemblage

Experiment in assemblage -- 19 people had 5 minutes to mount the above group of figures

At first, the figures were going to be rendered on large and small squares, then reassembled
