EMPHASIS: Part 1
Make your art the center of attention! 

Emphasis is what we call the focal point, the dominant element – where you want the viewer to stop and stay in your painting. It can be achieved in many ways and a painting can have one or multiple elements of emphasis. 

Contrast, Positioning, Convergence and The Unusual: Within those 4 categories you will also learn value, colors, hue, saturation, pattern& texture, size & proportion, centring, isolation, leading elements and the unexpected. 

You will learn: 

• 4 Categories of Emphasis
• All ways to achieve those 4 types of emphasis
• Create mini sketches 

Put into practice the theory you learned using mini studies and successfully translate your ideas onto canvas!
