It will include interesting and memorable discussions on composition\, massing\, building form\, light and shadow\, depending on your own style\, and knowing when a work is finished (learning how to not overwork your painting). Douglas delivers sound principles of painting that are incredible foundations for your painting\, whether a beginner or seasoned professional.After the brief morning intro\, a very hands-on approach to the class gets students mixing colors and preparing to paint. Students will work in their own style/technique so that the finished work is their own. Douglas will overview his palette and concepts that his work entails. Students will mix paints and learn to mix basic strings of color to help comprehend how this preparation makes the painting process a little simpler and get a working under-standing of the value/strings of color. Students will work from wonderful photos of palms that Douglas provides. This incredible hands-on painting experience will yield a palm or two through a logical thought process in a fun-yet-focused atmosphere to help you guide your future study. Your painting can be as complicated or as simple as needed.
