Saturday, September 19, 2026 • 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. • Includes Lunch
Composition Rules!
Good planning and correct values do the work in your paintings. Compose first, then paint, to create compelling designs and skip that high failure rate that results from just flinging paint and hoping for a good result. For this workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to “decompose” — to learn to evaluate your own work through a juror’s lens.
We’ll start with a demonstration, probably finishing the painting begun for the Juror’s Demo on Friday. Bring your questions about composition and designs, and 2-4 paintings or pics of your paintings to review.
The workshop will be at Harbor Park across from JHP. In case of rain we will go in to JHP or the Rec Hall.
