“Finding the Focus in your Painting”

Did you ever wonder why your painting has no punch? Too flat? Dull?

This workshop will help you make your paintings pop using contrast, dramatic lighting and dynamic color combinations.

Robert Burridge shows you how he jumpstarts his paintings using four basic principles that he calls his 4 Cs. You will learn how to paint ordinary subjects with these quick-focus techniques, turning your painting into a WOW.

No matter what your favorite subject is, you can punch it up and create dramatic, graphically strong paintings. All levels.

This four lesson workshop was created using Strathmore Oil Painting Paper and Holbein Oil paint.

There is a lesson plan PDF link for each video  below or in the description section of the YouTube video.
