Designing Your Way to Successful Paintings - 3 Day Workshop Kauai, HI


  • KSA Gallery in Kukio Grove Center 3-2600 Kaumualii Highway Lihue, HI, 96766 United States (map)

You are probably saying to yourself?  Why would I take a class on design when I’m barely able to draw and paint?  I found out some suggestions in my years of teaching watercolor and rosemaling.  If you know a few design principles…all painting mediums, weaving, quilting, stained glass, whatever you do looks better, and your results are more satisfying.

You know the old saying “a picture is worth a thousand words!” I seem to learn by seeing and doing and not reading, so I invented my own way to get it across, and it seems to work!  I will show you examples to simplify the rules and how to adapt them to your creations.  Here are some of the comments I’ve had from participants...”I had this in college, but I never made sense of it till now!” I went to Arizona and used it in my stain glass class, I formed my patterns using the ideas you gave me, and they worked!”  A student took the class and went back to her painting group and 16 of them arrived for their own special session!

Don’t miss this opportunity, it will allow you to compose from your own photos, and make your ideas become the artwork you envisioned.
