In Focus Project

This class project consists of painting an object with a blurry background using the techniques you’ll learn in the class. The object in the foreground will be in focus, hence the title of the project.

The class is divided into two assignments. If you follow along with the video lessons you’ll easily be able to complete the assignments and share your work in the gallery.

First, the blurry background. This is what this whole lesson is based on. You should have two or more thin layers to build up a solid background. Be sure to let each layer dry before adding another.

This first step is fundamental in continuing the process. Proudly share this accomplishment in the gallery. Student interactions are encouraged!

Though you are welcome to use your own colour palette, here's the one I used for the background colours:

Second, share the completed project. Congratulations! You’ve made it through all the course work and are ready to present the final work of art with other classmates and your instructor. Every step matters, but it’s so rewarding being able to share the outcome of all your hard work.

*Tip for photographing your image for the gallery: Using only natural light or daylight bulbs and a steady hand, angle yourself so there are no shadows on your image. Lightly adjust the brightness and contrast as needed to accurately depict your creation.
