Whether you are
painting for a living or hobby,
painting small and often is a
powerful way to rapidly improve your
skills. There is a fast growing
group of people, called daily
painters, who do small paintings
every day, post photographs of their
paintings on a blog, and then sell
them through eBay, with a usual
starting price of $100. In this way,
many artists are finding they can
grow quickly in skill and finally
make a living with their art, after
struggling for years in galleries
and at art fairs.
We will spend time on the basic
principals of design – the rules of
composition, value, color, and shape
– and how to apply them to small
still lives. We will then experiment
with color relationships using an
alternative to the traditional color
wheel, explore color mixing, and how
each color “leans” towards others.
We will push our compositions to
avoid “floating” objects and learn
the one, simple rule to avoid a
boring still life. Throughout, there
will be demos with handouts and
one-on-one critiques.
Finally, we will
learn how to set up a daily painting
blog, the in’s and out’s of eBay,
marketing your work, etc. There will
be reference material on this to
take home.
