This class explores how some pre-planning can give you the freedom to work more confidently and expressively! When starting a painting, the placement of your major and minor shapes is of paramount importance. What a great place to begin, right at the foundation of a painting. Many artists get overwhelmed by the complexity of a particular subject, We will be starting with the biggest shapes and finishing with small. We will also be delving into focal points, balancing your composition, lead in lines, editing our original scene, and cropping. I find that when I start a painting, if I have planned well, I’m going to finish with a much more successful painting.
