Designing a Great Painting with Barbara Cadario
November 28, 2020
Description
When: Nov 28, 2020 11:00 AM Vancouver
Join Barbara as she shares a multitude of design principles that can be used to enhance the design of your paintings. Barbara will explain and demonstrate simple design concepts that will visually support what one is trying to express through art. Topics will include, but are not limited to, ways of leading the eye through a painting using focal point placement, lines and colour. The work of famous artists, both Old Masters and contemporary artists, will be used to illustrate these principles. While Barbara will use water-soluble oil paints for the live painting portion of her demonstration, the techniques she will cover are easy to apply to painting in any medium. Similarly, these techniques are universally valuable; regardless of whether you paint still life, landscapes, figures or “abstracts”.
