Day 1 – Selecting the most appropriate dominance of color, value, line, or texture for the subject you select.

Day 2- Declaring which contrast works best for your subject –strong – subtle; neutral -bright; busy – minimal.

Day 3- Shapes and edges – most appropriate for the chosen subject. e.i.- soft organic shapes work well for traditional landscape paintings. Geometric hard edged shapes for the cityscapes.

Day 4- Space and dimension – Choose flat, shallow, or deep space coupled with 2-D or 3-D objects.

Day 5 – Summarize and declare a direction.

The workshop will run from Monday, February 4 through Friday, February 8. There will be a Welcome Reception for all MISA West workshop participants on Sunday evening, February 3, at 6pm.

I love everything about painting. I love feeling the paint, seeing a rich color spread under my brush onto a surface, and the play between colors coming together. I love watching my idea take form until a painting finally says “it” and I am surprised and delighted every time. I love sharing my art and knowing that someone is moved by it.
