October will be a free month in which you can choose your own subject matter. A number of you wish to continue with your equine paintings. The overall goal is to work on a "show" painting. Develop an idea from your own reference. Start with small comps to create a good abstract composition. Then, move into color and a larger format. There are quite a few good shows in the near future for you to enter.
In November and December we will shift to still life. Since I have now split the painting class into two classes, fundamental and advanced ... in the advanced class I will not be bringing the still life set-up in. I want you to design the set-up and composition yourself. Perhaps, two of you can work together to make a set-up that will work for two vantage points. Not an easy task! Plan on two three-week still lifes. For November, a fall theme and for December, a winter theme.
The advanced class is ready to move to the level where you choose your subject matter and create your goal, rather than the teacher bring it in. I will be there, however, to assist you and jump in with an appropriate lecture or demo when the need arises.
Go forth!
