Upside Down Exercise

I had my last class of this session today, so I wanted to do 

something challenging and fun. 

I brought in a bunch of simple images of figures and animals
and had them paint them upside down.

That way they HAD to just put in the big shapes 

in the right value and color!
It's really a stretch for everyone, but the results are amazing. 

Here are a few, in the works. 

We had about 45 minutes left after we talked about them

so they did one more quick one. 

This was an amazing group of ten very diverse and talented painters.

As always, I feel like I learned more from them.

I am so grateful to be able to do what I do.
