David has spent much of his life
studying color and learning from the
color masters. "My paintings are about
light and how various kinds of light -
morning, evening, high noon, twilight
and even the four seasons - affect the
way we perceive an object and
especially our natural environment."
Make your paintings stronger with a
color strategy based on one of the
seven kinds of color contrast. Explore
the dimensions of color with the key
word, contrast. A dominant point of
view can carry your work visually,
emotionally, and symbolically in new
directions.
David will demonstrate and discuss
ways to simplify your subject, how to
bring home the information you need in
your sketches and photos, and how
different sketching mediums and
techniques can facilitate developing a
dominant point of view & interpretation
of your subject.
