It was very clear to me that part 3 of the course was quite weak and needed follow-up studies. Therefore I repeated several exercises, included earlier in the blog. Then I decided it was time to give it another try for the assignment piece, the view from a window. I had selected the view from […]

More artists: Paul Noble, Charlotte Verity, Piet Mondrian, Leon Kossoff
