Daffodil Painting Demo



This painting of Daffodils was done Alla Prima as is much of my work. I think Alla Prima paintings look more spontaneous. I start with a thinner base color thin add thicker paint as I work to define the subject, I always start with a darker value base and add lighter paint in areas over it. Using the darker under painting for objects that are behind and lighter over painting for objects in front.

Improving your art by telling a story



 Filling the Frame
1. Central subject adds interest
2. Eliminate unnecessary background clutter
3. Know what story you want to tell
4. Filling the frame allows you to show texture and detail
5.  Create drama with your subject to tell your story
6. Fill the frame or crop your image to tell a better story

Sometimes I paint the same subject several times to find the best way to tell my story.
