Congratulations, Deborah: MazArt Foundation Graduate

Next up is Deborah, who has just finished the MazArt Foundation Course and has her certificate to prove it.

I love that she went for vegetables. Broccoli, carrots and a white mug isn't the obvious choice, and broccoli in particular is full of tiny shapes that are so easy to overwork. She kept it simple, blocked in her tones and let the detail come last, just as the method teaches.

What Deborah worked through

• Simple Shapes Still Life, learning the method on simple forms
• The Avocado, plus how to use water-mixable oils
• The Apple Study, every layer from start to finish
• Going Solo, her pick from six still lifes, painted on her own for the certificate

Well done, Deborah. If you're a member working through the course, I'd love your solo painting to be the next one I share here.
