Join Doug Mock for this 2-day workshop where you will learn the importance of creating art that takes advantage of strong design and composition. You will learn about the elements and principles of design, how to assess your photos (or plein air sites) to ensure strong works of art and how to best plan your art for success. Doug will have tools and hands-on exercises to reinforce your learning. Artists will gain a better understanding of the elements and principles of design while learning about and identifying critical compositional armatures/structures in a variety of art forms. Artists will complete hands-on activities to further reinforce their understanding of the critical importance of strong design and compositions.Doug regularly judges mixed-media art exhibits and consistently evaluates and critiques art based upon the artists understanding of and utilization of strong composition. This class is open to artists in all media so come and join the fun! Please bring a lunch each day as we will have a 45 minute working lunch break each day.
Please bring at least six - 8.5 x 11 photo references (in black and white) that you think would make great paintings. Bring a notebook, pen/pencil and a positive attitude!
This workshop is open to ALL artists in any art medium. This course is a comprehensive workshop designed by the instructor after not being able to find the workshop content in any one place.
$180/per student
