Exploring Composition
This is a 1 Day Workshop focussed on Composition. Design is the key to a successful painting. This workshop will focus on studying the basic principles necessary to create a successful composition. We will be creating thumbnail (2x3, 3x4) color sketches to explore design possibilities for a future painting.
The goal of this workshop
- explore composition beyond the photograph
