Most of my early paintings were concerned with capturing the appearance of a subject just as it appeared. I consider that my “learning how things work” phase. It was all about copying the scene just as it was, but gradually building an understanding of how light and form combine to produce this planet full of wonders we call home.
Even while painting in that studious fashion, I was always drawn to the more expressive painters who seemed to throw caution to the wind and created their own vision of a scene on the canvas, producing what might be considered a poem about the place rather than a careful description. at to me seemed like a worthy goal.
In this lesson I take students through the process of creating just such a painting, with particular emphasis on color, brushwork and edges.

Take two Hey, great work
Maureen. Lots of vibrant color, expressive brushwork, and a variety of shapes, avoiding pattern-making. Nothing I would change here. Good job.
