Catherine Hearding Presents: Improve Your Paintings Using Color Tools

Thursday, November 14, 7pm
Live at Zeller Studio and On Zoom

The Minnesota Watercolor Society is thrilled to welcome Catherine Hearding as our November demo artist! Are you ready to elevate your painting skills? This demo will give you some tips that can help bring your paintings from good to great! The question is, what makes a great painting? The usual answer begins with using a solid value structure, but there are other factors that will help you out.

We will be looking at:

  • Design Elements and how to simplify your concept and build a stronger painting.
  • How to capture light to make emotional connections.
  • Using color to draw in the viewer.
