For Questions and to Reserve a Spot
We will be combining two of my favorite subjects: children and animals! Not only will we be covering the basics of design, compostion, color harmonies, painting eyes, noses, teeth, hair, hands and feet, etc. but i will help you reach inside and use your own feelings to express the painting. We will be using photogaphs and have a photo shot with models.
I will also demonstrate how to use your computer, laptop or iPad to strengthen your knowledge of any subject you are painting.
Camera required ( all cameras including point and shoot acceptable). Lap tops or iPads suggested, but not required.
Some of the Topics covered will be:
- Photo Shoot -How to photograph your subjects
- Combining two or more photos for one great painting
- Considering the value patterns - what are your choices.
- Determining your focal point (key to a successful result).
- Selecting a color scheme.
- Simplifying detail for a more powerful statement.
- How to capture the light and shadows in your painting.
- How to see form and understand how to translate it to the canvas.
- Creating depth
- Skin, hair and fur, hands, feet, facial features and espressions
- Putting innoscence into your painting
