Keene Wilson - Page - Painting "Fundamentals" for the Advanced Artist By Keene Wilson Foundation The two most important things in painting are value and design. If the foundation is strong, painting will stand up. Ambivalence in your approach to painting will lead to an ambivalent response in the viewer. Visualize the finished painting, know the color harmony, how the painting is to vibrate. All paintings must have: a sense of space, design (masses must hold together abstractly), and artistic blend of strength and subtlety. Have a general direction in mind, but don’t try to have all the answers Chose to see in a particular way and with a consistent structural unity Follow your feeling while painting, do most thinking beforehand Beginners paint objects, experienced painters paint passages Learn to subdue the natural tendency to see detail and value changes. Relationships Focus on getting the relationships right A color is what it appears to be only because of its relationship to the surrounding colors.

Getting started from nowhere It has been claimed that you need to put ten thousand hours into a skill to "master" it, whatever that means. So, anyways. Self-critique ghost Sometimes, often, an image just feels wrong somehow. Fix that thing! On studies I seldom do studies, but when I do I notice improvement very quickly.
