Drawing II

To-do-list:

1. Paint 3 baskets in the setting shown during class in watercolour. (A3) You're supposed to use masking film to mask out the lighting and texture on the baskets before painting. Masking film can be bought in Artfriend, roughly around $8:30 per bottle. Or you can go and look for Jian Yao and ask to borrow the masking film.

Here's the picture. It's not very well-taken I'm afraid. You can try looking at B6-12 for the setting to take a photo for yourself.

Things to be brought next week:

• A landscape photo (colour print)
• A waterproof black pen
• Your painting materials and watercolour paper
