This course is based on the forthcoming book, 100 Rules for the Aspiring Painter which guides a painter, novice through professional, toward a positive simple path, fusing their artistic skills with social and business essentials to achieve a successful career. We’ll cover the important, sometimes overlooked, aspects for artists to flourish in a fun, interactive and challenging way so painters can explore beyond their comfort zone. This course will cover Composition: the foundation of the painting; Control: techniques that get us to the finish line; Color: the basics of getting what we want others to see; Contemplations: how to think about being a painter and the next step; Civilities: how to act in regards to others in the art world and beyond. These 100 Rules can separate the good artist from the good artist who sells.
