Finding Beauty in the Ordinary

Learn to simplify complex forms and create beautiful paintings out of ordinary scenes



LIFETIME ACCESS

Language: English


How does an artist manage to turn anything into art? How is it possible to capture everyday scenes in such a way that reveals hidden beauty, subjects that many would simply pass by?


“When people begin to paint, they tend to look for overly ‘pretty’ subjects. This can lead to frustration, as often our paintings don’t live up to the subject! I want students to realize that there is a whole world of possible painting subjects, and to give them some advice on how to handle scenes that may not be considered ‘beautiful’ and elevate them to a pleasing watercolor.”
 
According to Andy Evansen, extra detalisation is one of the most common mistakes students make. Let’s learn how to simplify complicated subjects!
