THE B.S. CLASS
B.asic S.tuff! B.arn S.cale! B.lue S.carlet! B.lack S.hadow! B.rush S.trokes!
We will start by exploring some drawing techniques for about an hour, introducing perspective, negative space, and placement, then move onto painting.
We will work on simple compositions that will illustrate a lot of B.S.! We'll mix colors and discuss their properties. Here’s some of the B.S. we will cover in order of importance:
B.arn S.cale:
Perspective on buildings seems scary, but you only need to know just the minimum about shapes to make it work.
B.lue S.carlet:
Warm and Cool. So essential, so ignored! It’s all about the science of our eyes.
B.lack S.hadow:
How dark are shadows? Are they black?
B.rush S.troke:
Brushes are different shapes and thicknesses for a reason. Use brushes to their full potential! Make them work for you. This will be quick!
