In class on 3/16 the students worked on a still life of colored blocks painted in sunlight. The exercise dovetailed with the other lessons in Session 1 on seeing and relating color. The color block study comes from the Cape Cod school of painters. Charles Hawthorne was the founder, suceeded by Henry Hensche , then succeeded by Lois Griffel. Susan Sarback was also a student of Henry Hensche. The following books are a good resource:
Hawthorne on Painting
Hensche on Painting
Painting the Impressionist Landscape: Lessons in Interpreting Light and Color
Capturing Radiant Light & Color in Oils and Pastels
