Paula Completes the MazArt Foundation Course

Our second graduate is Paula, and I'm so pleased to share her solo painting with you.

Paula chose lemons and an orange for her final piece, including a cut lemon, which is no small thing to take on. All that translucent flesh, and the shine on the skins. She worked through it with the same layers she learned in the course, and the colour really sings.

How Paula got here

  • Simple Shapes Still Life: first oil painting, first underpainting
  • The Avocado: the same method, adapted for water-mixable oils
  • The Apple Study: putting every step together
  • Going Solo: a reference chosen from six, and no lesson to lean on

Well done, Paula. Two graduates now, and I'm hoping this list keeps growing.
