The process of creating a masterpiece...

When creating an intricate artwork the children are encouraged to take their time and follow a series of processes and techniques.

Firstly The children had to create a background using acrylic and a fine brush.

The skills which the children were focusing on at this stage were paint application, brushwork, and colour selection. Once the backgrounds were completed the children studdies Phillip Clairmonts painting of an old couch. They used pencil and cartridge to recreate the couch in the painting, focusing on using organic anthropomorphic lines and colours. We used oil pastel to add detail and block in the couches,

We then added them to the background as one completed artwork.
