Watercolor Wednesday Week 33

HAPPY PPF !!!!!

Lesson 2: A "Painting" versus a "Picture."

A Painting is:
A shape with a value change, painted with a variety of color, showing the Artistic Touch while maintaining a strong impact area and sense of unity.

A picture is:
A barn, A wagon, a tree, a window with grass and clouds.

"If you want to create a true painting, learn to focus on a variety of shapes, tonal values and colors while maintaining a strong impact area and sense of unity" Tom Lynch.
