Dynamic Composition
With Ingrid Christensen
A well-composed painting rarely fails… and a poorly composed painting rarely succeeds. This workshop will put you firmly in charge of your painting from the very first mark, helping you to organize complex scenes into clear, coherent, and powerful paintings. Working from your own photos, you’ll learn how to develop a concept and then simplify, organize, and manipulate your images to achieve that concept. You’ll learn the tricks to creating dynamic shapes, and how to avoid excessive detail, and you’ll discover the abstract heart that lies within every successful image.
Audience
This workshop is perfect for adults with an intermediate to advance level in painting and image-making.
