Day Two

Today we learned how to prep our canvases.  We used a wash to cover the canvas.  This was done using mineral spirits mixed with burnt sienna.  We learned how to create a painting using thick over thin lines.  Starting with abstract.  We learned that we need to make at least three objects go off the canvas.  We also learned how to create a focal point using several different methods.  Some of these are:  dark and light objects, line convergence, how detailed objects are, color choices, light sources, fuzzy/clear objects, and placement.
