We spend a great deal of effort finishing a painting, but the success of a painting hinges more on a well thought out start. In this lively 1-½ hour presentation and demonstration, Mitchell Albala will show you how a “smart start” can establish drawing, composition, value, and even general color direction at the outset. Mitchell will cover the traditional monochromatic underpainting and his own 2-color underpainting method, the color notan.
Mitchell Albala’s teaching résumé includes 20 years at Gage Academy of Art in Seattle, as well as Pacific Northwest Art School, Winslow Art Center, Dakota Art, and Daniel Smith Artist’s Materials. He has led painting adventures in Italy three times. Mitchell has lectured on landscape painting and Impressionism at the Seattle Art Museum and is the author of the best-selling book Landscape Painting: Essential Concepts and Techniques for Plein Air and Studio Practice. He also hosts a popular painting blog which was awarded the #12 spot on feedspot.com’s Top 75 Painting Blogs.
