Todd A Williams: The Science of Painting - Left Brain vs. Right Brain
This presentation will explore the science of painting through the seven steps or disciplines in creating a work of art: (1) Knowledge vs. Observation (2) Design (3) Squinting (4) “VCM” Value - Color - Mixture (5) Paint Application (6) Edges (7) Spirit - Soul and Body. You'll get an inside glimpse into the artistic process, learning how an artist solves all the issues ahead of time before the painting process. "People often say after attending my lecture that they now see the Art differently when they visit galleries and museums." This will be great event for all art lovers and enthusiasts. Artist Bio
