Description
Join instructor David Gary as you delve into what “makes a good painting a good painting” and learn to put these tenets into practice in your own painting. Students will watch a demo/presentation and then follow along, painting a shared photo subject. We will be provided with a “Big 5 Cheatsheet” and keep ourselves on track with the “Big 5” as we progress through our painting, constantly making sure we maintain these elements of success from start to finish. Participants will learn to implement strong fundamentals and incorporate these more advanced thoughts to build a quality composition and take home strong guidance for implementing into their own work.
