Artist Studio
I like to plan the painting with the end in mind: what do I want it to look like when it is finished? I never start a painting thinking, “Gee, I wonder if I can paint that tree? Or that surf?” That is too limiting!
This week, I am going to show you one of my favorite lessons for learning about complex and varied shapes. The shapes are made up of many objects but still read as one interesting passage of darks or lights. This will help you in getting past the idea of painting everything that is possible to paint about a subject. Editing and interpretation are essential for making personal and creative works of art.
