The theme for our\u00a0last lesson was <em>creating depth and atmosphere<\/em>. Jane covered transparency and opacity, and then\u00a0more specific\u00a0information on building an interesting\u00a0composition. All of this requires the use of color, adding paint and removing it, shapes, depth, pattern, veiling, and lines. Since\u00a0I&#8217;ve been on vacation the past couple of weeks, I&#8217;ve been working from the table in a condo using the supplies I could easily pack and transport, which means, I was just a tad limited (i.e., in our last lesson, we were to practice building layers using transparent paints, well, I hadn&#8217;t\u00a0brought any\u00a0transparent paints).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/IMG_5803.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-977 aligncenter\" alt=\"IMG_5803\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/IMG_5803-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/IMG_5808.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-975 aligncenter\" alt=\"IMG_5808\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/IMG_5808-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So, instead of following Jane&#8217;s instructions, I veered a bit to the left and took a sharp twist to the right. I\u00a0used what I had learned over the past six weeks and applied those techniques along with my own body of knowledge to create a series of 4&#215;6 pieces (going over some of the pieces I had created in earlier lessons). I enjoyed playing with collage, pattern, color, line, and shape &#8211; all things I use\u00a0regularly in my art. I&#8217;ve added some new tools to my repertoire, and strengthened some techniques that were weak.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/IMG_5815.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-985 aligncenter\" alt=\"IMG_5815\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/IMG_5815-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/IMG_5823.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-983 aligncenter\" alt=\"IMG_5823\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/IMG_5823-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/IMG_5827.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-984 aligncenter\" alt=\"IMG_5827\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/IMG_5827-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/IMG_5822.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-982 aligncenter\" alt=\"IMG_5822\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/IMG_5822-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/IMG_5814.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-979 aligncenter\" alt=\"IMG_5814\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/IMG_5814-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/IMG_5828.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-978 aligncenter\" alt=\"IMG_5828\" src=\"http:\/\/www.daynajcollins.com\/curele\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/IMG_5828-225x300.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I totally and completely recommend taking a class from Jane &#8211; online or in person.
