Tips, Tricks, & Fun Facts

Quick Tip: Create a Focal Point

10/11/2017

Controlling the direction of the lines in your painting is a great way to create a focal point. Edvard Munch uses curvy and straight lines, but all of them either frame or move toward the figure in his famous work "The Scream." 

Come create your own Spooky Scream Painting at our next Percolator Paint Night, Saturday, 10/14/2017, at 7:00 pm.

Welcome to my very first Tips, Tricks, & Fun Facts post! Normally I'll be using this space for artistic "quickies." You can think of it as the instant coffee page - just add paint! However, today, in honor of the Great North American Eclipse, I'm using this space to post a link to an awesome article by Jason Farago of the New York Times called "How Do You Paint an Eclipse? Work Fast in the Dark." Enjoy!
