Posted on January 25, 2012 by admin

Art Tip…….  If you break up things too early the overall form gets lost.  The overall form is the most important.  It is how we will immediately recognize the image….. It is from the LARGER MASSES.

High Tech – Matt Smith’s Class painting from iPad photo reference

Posted on January 12, 2012 by admin

Painting from a photo reference

90% of your painting problems can come from a poor photo reference

Look for no more than 4 to 5 simple shapes

You want a narrow value range

What is your focus of interest?

Compositionally where do you want it to be.  Rule of 1/3s

You are the artist/conductor…… you can control were the view looks
