Studio B

Member: $100 for 4 weeks

Learn how to compose a painting! What do we leave out, what do we move around, what looks the best? If your big shapes work in a thought-out composition, the rest is easy and you’ll have more fun slinging paint around! We will touch on composition, the value of values (!), the importance of spending a couple of minutes on thumbnails, and how to incorporate people into your scenery. We will also learn in a playful and informative way how perspective works. One point, 2 point, 3 point, and if time and interest is there, even fish-eye – the dreaded but fun 4 point perspective!

This class depends heavily on student questions and participation. Bring your half-finished artwork, any photos you want to use as a reference for a future painting, and all your questions! We will all learn from each other, so the more, the merrier!
