Lesson One
Lenkiewicz would often give new students the following exercise:

  1. Small piece of hardboard (A3) primed black.
  2. Group of small geometric object...rectangles, squares, spheres - Lightbulb box, toothpaste box, rubber ball will do.
  3. Prime half of the objects black and half of the objects white.
  4. Arrange objects and paint in black and white.
  5. Paint for as long as you can bear...every night for weeks, months.
  6. Easiest way is to keep repriming the same hardboard to start over again.
  7. Use a 'claude' mirror to check tones (Claude mirror is a piece of glass painted black...I use an old picture frame and prime one side black).
  8. Once competent prime one of the objects a colour and add back into the still life. Paint for as long as possible again (with only the one added colour while the rest of the objects are B&W).
  9. After time add a second colour and repeat and so on.

There are other versions to this exercise where hardboard is split into two etc...

Former students include:

  • Lucinda Arundell
  • Piran Bishop
  • Nahem Shoa
