So, how do you get a painting started? How do you create a strong composition? How do you come up with a design on the canvas that will make a painting that works?
That's what I'll be talking about at my demonstration for the Napa Valley Art Association in Napa this coming Monday, October 22nd, at 1:00. 

The Art Association building is at 1520 Behrens Street in downtown Napa, just off Seminary.

They've given it the title, "'Set-Up Success in Acrylics' – getting the composition in focus, finding the big forms, building layers, approaching a finished painting with confidence.'
If you get started on the right foot, it makes all the difference. I'll cover some very simple, but absolutely basic, ways that help create a composition that works. I'm looking forward to it!
