Go to David Hockney's website, the 1960s paintings to practice describing: colors & objects in the painting. Also express your opinion. Do you like the paintings? Why? Why not? What kind of mood do they transmit?

For extra practice, read about David Hockney, and write about one of his paintings. Send it to me by email & I will correct it. You can reach me at teachrmarye1@gmail.com
Remember that the order of adjectives usually follows this type of categorization:
opinion size age color nationality materials + NOUN
(If there are more than two adjectives, commas usually separate them)
a nice small young grey French silk dress
a funny little story
a tasty big pink grapefruit
a nice long antique gold Greek necklace
*Most often, you would use multi-adjectives in writing. In speaking, we break up our descriptions:
"I found this amazing gold necklace while I was on vacation in Greece. We walked into an antique store and it immediately caught my eye. I really like it because it's just the right length: not too short, nor too long."
