This is your first real painting!!!
1. Take a look at the complex still life setups. Discover how to find interesting compositions within. Challenge yourself!
2. Draw 5 thumbnails in your sketchbook that show off different composition strategies: zoom, depth, overlap, off edges, point of view/angles, scale changes, placement.
3. Review your thumbnails for strong compositions. Decide on a setup and composition to make a final painting. Sketch in LIGHT lines!
4. ACRYLIC- Do a quick underpainting. Block in big areas of values first. Do not start with a tiny brush doing details.
5. WATERCOLOR- Make sure your pencil lines are very light. Work from light to dark. Mix even washes and patiently control the paint.
