About The Course:

Line, Value, Color, Shape, Texture

Take this course and improve your work today! I refer to the Five Elements as the alphabet to your painting novel. They are the foundation for all art making, and if you want a solid foundation to your art education then this course is a must. I speak specifically to their use in abstraction, as all two–dimensional abstract work is made up of one or more of these Elements. This course was specifically designed as the foundation course to my ANSWERS IN ABSTRACTION Comprehensive e-Course.

  • Do you struggle with the infinite choices in creating abstract work?

  • Do you ever freeze up with wondering what to do next?

  • Do you need some ideas for what to focus on in your abstracts?

  • Do you struggle with knowing when a painting is complete?

Understanding how to use Line, Value, Color, Shape and Texture as key Elements will give you direction in your painting problem solving and prepare you further for advanced work with composition and design in any subject matter. This course is suitable for beginning through intermediate students, and a great refresher for advanced students!

Multiple mediums are used in the video demos and you are free to use any medium you prefer in this course.
