Peacock Feathers- Teen Class

This was a great class in observation and planning a direction/movement in a painting. We had actual peacock feathers and photos to use a reference. Then the students did some thumbnails deciding on the direction and placement of the feather. Painted on 12x12 inch stretched canvas with acrylic paint.

Feathers and Stitches, ages 12 and up

The class was given peacock feathers and photos to look at and do thumbnails to get to know the subject. Some of the class chose to do paintings on canvas with embroidery thread embellishments, some chose to use beads and one did a colored pencil drawing.

and here is a Peep that one of the students did as extra.
