Understanding Composition and Design

Join artist and instructor Doug Mock for this 2-day workshop where you will learn the importance of creating art that takes advantage of strong design and composition. You will learn about the elements and principles of design, how to assess your photos (or plein air sites) to ensure strong works of art and how to best plan your art for success.  This workshop does not include physical painting. Doug will have hands-on exercises to reinforce your learning.  Please bring 2 to 3 - 8.5 x 11 photo references (preferably your own and printed in black and white) that you think would make great paintings. 

Doug regularly judges all-media art exhibits and consistently evaluates and critiques art based upon the artists understanding of and utilization of strong composition.  This class is open to artists in all media so come and join the fun! Open to artists of ALL levels and media.
