Wild Life Painting Workshop

This wild life painting workshop was held in Durban (local artist).  Here are some  of the summaries and guides to the workshop that was held. 
When painting wildlife, the background  should be painted first, adding texture (tub acrylic) to the background and colour adds to the tone of the painting. The background expresses the areas of light and shade, it adds to the focal point of the composition, and carrys your eye to the forground image.
Correct shades and colour work in favour with the overall paintings appeal.
The correct colours are important - burnt Seana, amber brown yellow ochre.When adding highlights you shouldn't use pure whites unless they are blended with other colours.
When painting the Iris black you should diffuse the colour to create depth, adding a thin cure in the eye as a reflection of the light source. Look out for an exhibition on the 30th March at the mall (for more inspiration)
