Sue Archer

January 16-18 2024

In this workshop, you will experience how Sue creates and designs her imagery and achieves a “strong” quality of light. You will be introduced to many topics and concepts dealing with design and composition. Your goal should be to decide how these ideas could apply to your painting,
your subject matter, your intent and your style. Elements and principles of design need to be understood; They are not rules, only guidelines. You, as the artist, need to learn how to use them successfully in your work! Learning about design takes a lifetime of study. Let’s get started!

A course designed to inspire your creativity by learning to “see” and experience some different design and composition concepts; and understand the power of planning even if you are an “intuitive painter”. Designed to inspire adv. beginners and provide a review and challenge for the advanced student.
