Painters Tip



For landscape painters



SLOW DOWN



Make a plan for yourself before you begin your painting. Ask yourself some questions.

Where will you place major elements in your painting?

Where will you place the focal point or area of interest?

Where will be secondary elements of interest?

Wiill there be tertiary elements?

Where is the direction of light coming from?

What is the angle of light?

What will be the mood and atmosphere of your painting? Bright Light? Tonal Light? 

How will you lead the viewer through the composition? Curves, connecting values? Patterns?



You must write down your questions and then write the answers on paper, step by step. Then begin your painting and follow your own road map to completion. Can you justify the choices you have made in your process, so that they mimic your painting plan? If not, why did you change the plan?


Get in the habit of making a good plan in advance and you will have better paintings.
