MASTER HINTS AND TIPS

• It is important when adding figures that they don’t look as if they have been tacked on. Therefore, I place the shadows accurately; and I use three tones to give a three-dimensional effect.

• Practice your drawing skills.

• Learn the rules of good composition.

• Always have a focal point to make your picture tell a story.

• Don’t make the picture too busy.

• Try to achieve a full tonal range in your paintings.

• Paint the lightest lights against the darkest darks.

• Paint what you see … not what you know.

• Develop the power of lost and found edges.
