Composition for Painting (level 1)

Online Zoom 3 Week Class $60.00

Monday's 6:30pm - 8:30pm -May 9, 16, 23

​

How many times do we look at a photo we would love to paint, but something just doesn't look right? This class will lead you through designing a composition that will make your painting more successful than the actual photo. Deanna will explain the elements of design and how to apply them to a composition. We will then use a photo supplied by the instructor to create better compositions and draw them as thumb nail sketches that can be used in a painting on your own or in the next level class that follows, "Applying Composition to Painting" level 2.

A background in color theory will help you be successful in your paintings and eliminate a lot of the frustration that comes with mixing the wrong colors together and creating "mud". If you have some basic knowledge in color theory this class will reinforce what you have learned and take you through the next steps of applying those skills. For those of you that are starting out with color theory, I will  introduce you to the concepts of mixing colors, color temperature, what colors mix well together and what ones don't and why. We will then apply all of these skills in exercises you will want to keep in your studio for reference time and time again.

Representing texture in nature using watercolor presents a unique challenge.
