Thumbing through a magazine from the cupboard while waiting for the class to start, I found this photo and thought it might be a useful setting for Mr Fox and Lady Mary -
We were encouraged to think about our palette and to put some sort of "colour structure" underneath the overpainting -
I'd mixed a large amount of the sludgy purple to add to the other colours -
At break time, it looked like this -
After the break, it seems like not much got done - but I was busy mixing and painting the whole time (often re-painting). So, now we have a stage set that needs populating, perhaps via collage -
Artists we looked at briefly included
Madhvi Parekh,
Bhupen Khakhar, and
Ghulam Sheikh - Indian artists new to me; they all use ways of showing more than one scene from a story in one painting.
