Each week, we will focus on one of the following concepts: Negative Space, Movement, and Composition. Exploring how these concepts move the viewer’s eye around a painting, we will break down positive and negative space, how to push the viewers eye in an intentional direction, and how our own references can be turned into stronger compositions. Demos will be done in pastel, but these conceptual ideas apply across all mediums, therefore, all mediums welcome.
