Landscapes

Last Saturday, May 12, we painted landscapes. I brought a number of photos I have on file for myself. I even suggested that someday in the future, we all pick the same photo and paint it to see how different the same scene can come out.
After looking at a number of landscapes by Van Gough, Picasso, Miro and others I talked about composition.
Don't feel like you have to paint exactly what's there. Move a tree if it makes a better composition.
Think about color schemes.

For example, this photo might make a nice monochromatic (green) color scheme painting.


I often use a backgound color that is
complimentary
and opposite in value to my
text color.

We will never be through experimenting with color, design or composition.
