Cactus painting

Cactus painting - student project

My friend and I did this class last weekend. The class went well but when we started the project we felt a bit lost. So after 3 tries, I decided to do a a simple cactus from a photo I took a few years ago.

Here’s a few other exercises. We didn’t try them all but we did a few of them.

And here’s the project. I’ve done wet on wet, a bit of lifting and dry brush.
