Stained Glass Project


This is another stab at the Stained Glass project homework for the Fullerton College class. It is due in about ten days...I'm having some trouble making the washes truly flat and monochromatic. I like the color variation...but I'm doing this for a grade and there are criteria to meet. The black lines are sharpie - wide tip. My children (ages 12 and 8) really like this painting. They are not impressed by some of my artwork, so I really don't know why this appeals to them...perhaps it is the bright colors. I would really like to do a version of this that is much larger but then keeping the washes monochromatic would be even more difficult. I'm really happy with the colors that I'm getting with the more expensive Windsor Newton paint. This painting still has some of the cheaper Cotman paint in it, but it is mostly the good stuff. This is so different from everything else I've ever done that I'm interested to get some adult feedback.
