Composition & Design

What makes a painting work?

All painting is abstract, even a photo realistic painting. It is abstracted from the three dimensional into a series of shapes on a two dimensional plane. The more engaging those abstract shapes in relation to the picture plane, the most engaging the painting.

For this Zoom lesson, we are looking at paintings and trying to come up with answers:

-why am I attracted to a certain painting?

-why some paintings work better than  others?

-how can I make my painting stronger?

Materials:

I will demo in charcoal and paint. There is no specific material list necessary for this sessionuse any art materials and surfaces of your choice.
