Tips!

Sally Harrison came into our classes to show her how she does her particular style of painting. While we watched her and attempted to do our own simular versions there were many helpful tips and observations made:
Looking at the basic shapes of the pictures is helpful for just getting the background in, even squinting at it and going as simple as possible.
Working back over the picture again and again is the best way to make the finalised image as realistic as possible.
Attenion to detail always comes at the end of the painting when it's almost finished.
Start with the dark layers of colour then add the lighter colours over the top, it's good to wait for the image to dry if you don't want the colours to blend together.
