You will learn simple techniques to create wonderful underpaintings to help create your super darks making it far easier to create light without the muddy effect. It will help you interpret photographs and help you to see what is needed to turn a photo into a painting. Looking at light and composition to develop into something amazing rather than ordinary.

We will explore Atmospheric photographs and look at interpretation. We will also cover Composition, Values, Colour Temperatures, Recession, Depth of Field and Movement.

We are going to create in underpainting, then pastel, then paint, then pastel, then paint, then pastel to create a masterpiece. Working on CANSON TOUCH paper, a great mixed media paper
