With pupils of year 8 we studied a great Italian painter of the 1900s, Giorgio Morandi, with his still lifes full of quiet solitude, and with its delicate colors.
Starting with a dark background we copied the colors of Morandi with tempera, trying a new way to spread the color, overlapping strokes thick, stirring tones, revealing the dark background and leaving undefined boundaries.

Hi Costance! Thanks for your nice comment! I love Morandi too!!:)
I just saw your student’s work. As a lover of Morandi’s work and an art professor I think your students did a WONDERFUL job of translating his work. Bravo!
Thanks Stephen! The work was not easy and I was surprised by my student’s skills.
