Painting Large Work
If the thought of pulling a large blank canvas up onto your easel fills you with anticipation, then you’re going to love this video. In Mastering the Large Canvas, Kathleen Hudson, known for her luminous and atmospheric landscapes, shares her signature blueprint for scaling up paintings successfully.
Throughout the in-depth chapters, you’ll discover Kathleen’s meticulous step-by-step approach that breaks down the complex process into easily digestible stages. She begins with the crucial preparatory work of asking key guiding questions and creating thumbnail value studies. Then she establishes a strong foundational design and composition through an initial transparent underpainting.
Then watch as she builds up the elements of the painting from background to foreground while maintaining unified color harmony. Finally, she assesses the work as a whole to make those key final adjustments that take it from great to extraordinary.
