Kent Island Art Association-negative Painting Class

Here are some of the great pictures from the Kent Island Art Association Class on Monday.  I hope that this taste of negative painting will be helpful to everyone that attended and add a spark of mystery to paintings yet to be created!  The  house above is the art center. It is located in Stevensville, Maryland --over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Go to http://www.kifaevents.org for information on classes.

Georgette is an acrylic painter and was able to do a beautiful job with the  project in watercolor.  See our fall leaves above.

This is me explaining the importance of the under painting. This is the foundation of a great negative design.

This is a close up of the first layer underway. Many negative paintings are built up with many transparent layers  of paint. Understanding color is very important.
