SUMMARY
In this lively workshop you will learn how to plan and apply your composition. When painting snow scenes there is a real danger of them looking too flat. Howard will be teaching you how to make sure that you avoid this potential pitfall by use of good composition. He will explain and demonstrate the importance of creating simple thumbnail sketches for a strong and dynamic composition and tonal arrangement.
Howard will also explain his choice of colours, favourite materials and equipment and of course techniques.
SKA comment: If your finished paintings lack a sense of balance then this tutorial is definitely for you. The skills covered in this tutorial can be applied to all types of natural subject matter, so whether you favour landscapes, cityscapes, seascapes etc you will be furnished with many new skills that will help you add a higher degree of sophistication to your paintings.
