Painting in Pieces
Having trouble composing a large painting? Think small.
Working in a series of smaller pieces is not only fun but it's a great way to build a larger work.
In today’s video I’m going to demonstrate how I use collage to create four small pieces and then arrange them in several ways on a canvas to have either one final painting or use them as inspiration for another piece.
Fast and easy are the key concepts here.
Quickly putting together a collection of smaller pieces gives spontaneity and energy to a larger piece.
And along the way, you're likely to find new color combinations that you are drawn to and will want to use in a future work.
Try this out and let me know what you create.
