Wildflowers, daisies... coastal landscapes, adult art class, 7/29/19

We started the daisies lesson with a series of exercises creating disks in various positions to convey a conceptual flower head placement in space. We colored the background areas without using outlines, coloring up to imaginary outlines - working with the negative space to create daisies.

In final drawings, students invented scenes and used some of the daisy exercises on a smaller scale to evoke the flowers' movement through space.
