ABOUT THIS COURSE
DEMO CHAPTER OUTLINE
Introduction
Project Materials — basic overview of materials to have on hand
The Value of Good Design — The TWO THINGS you need to know to grab the viewer's eye and make a great painting (no matter what your subject)
Compose Your Collage — repetition with variety is a really good rule! Keep it simple.
Prepare Your Surface — how to prepare a collaged surface in preparation for painting--what you need to know to get a smooth, workable surface that stays put!
Choose & Place Your Subject — simple lines no detail needed.
Choose Your Color Palette — ideas on what colors might best express the mood you want in your painting.
Dark Background Wash — mix and paint a dark transparent wash to identify the figure within the composition. Learn What NOT to do with acrylic paint.
Light Neutral Background Wash — complete the background of the painting with a light neutral.
First Wash on the Figure — think FLAT shapes, Color and Temperature can help things appear to recede in space or come forward.
Develop the Painting — still thinking flat and simple, glaze additional layers to get a good variety of darks vs lights and warms vs cools.
Add More Collage — weave it in and out of the figure.
Final Adjustments — adjust the painting so that nothing takes away from the figure. Add final flourishes.
