Hello Judith Reidy,
How to select Images, scenes, setups that make it easier to compose a painting?
In classes I really want students to feel confident with their dreams and to learn how to create them. Selecting an image for a painting for a beginning painter can be a real stumbling block to early success. You may have seen something that was really cool. to you, photographed and then tried using it as the basis for a painting. It has been my experience that sometimes that experience for a painter can be exceedingly discouraging. You look at the image, and you cant' see where the shapes are, where they begin and end. You can't discern a pattern for the eye to follow.
Let me make it clear, any scene, setup or image can be the basis for a painting, but not every image, scene or setup makes for an easy compositional design. I have created a short series of videos that help you select an image that makes it easier to compose a painting.
I think you will find this series of benefit to yourself and other painters you know. Click on the link below to see the videos. See Selecting an Image for a Composition Video https://youtu.be/AsTIdlPiHjc
In all my teaching including my recent workshops, I think we have all learned a lot in the process and are having a good deal of fun. Our little community gets value from one another as well as from what I am able to share with them. Fade away self critic.
