Today we looked at two pieces of watercolour artwork by Kaye Blegvad, “Reykjavik by Night” and “Reykjavik by Day”, and used this to inspire our own day and night time watercolour studies and experiments.
Some people copied the pictures to better find out how the artist may have created them including playing with composition, colour, line, light and shadow, positive and negative shape, texture, and pattern.
Others used the artist’s work as inspiration or a springboard for working from preparatory images of their own, some of their own property, some from local views, and some from travels around the world. Some are finished, and some are not, and some we won’t see until next time!
I certainly had great fun and thought that this was an enjoyable and playful activity. Thank you everyone for a really good session.
