Description
Energizing Your Paintingwith Fund and Confidencew/Fred JacksonMarch 1 & 210:00 am - 4:00 pmLet’s warm up our creative painting skills for the coming season of outdoor painting.
Fred will do some paint sketch demos to illustrate some ways of how to start a painting, define some compositional ideas, and show a variety of ways to apply and move paint on the canvas.
We will paint from Life; a visually complex still life composition will be our subject. The idea is to edit- simplify and define what you like. A skill required for landscape painting.
The learning exercise is to develop a series of paint sketches or starts and experiment. There are many ways to start a painting, we will look at a few of those ways. Sometimes different subjects require different start approaches. By doing a series of paint sketches we test different compositional structures, color combinations, and mark making techniques. Finding a way that works for you can offer confidence and lead to creating a successful bold painting.
