Michael Smither Inspired Paintings

In our class we have been looking at and studying a well known N.Z. Artist - Michael Smither.
We were particularly taken with one of his paintings of his daughter eating baked beans.  She loved them so much that she ate them for breakfast lunch and dinner. Smither called this painting "Sarah's Beans'
For our paintings we started by taking a photo of ourselves with a big spoon and completing a pencil drawing from this.  We had to look closely at the tones.  We then used this pencil drawing to help us with our paintings.  They are just gorgeous and each of them has their own little personality...not all of us like beans!
