Composition: Creating the Painting You Need

Many decisions are involved in composing a painting: size, orientation, colour palette, references, and more.  In this talk, Nicole shares the process of composing one of her figurative paintings, from initial sketch to finished work. 

Creativity and emotional impact are prioritized over strict realism, in order to build a painting that aligns with your vision and goals.  Learn about the armature, colour chords, and adjusting anatomy to better serve the painting’s needs.

This talk was hosted by Opus Art Supplies in February 2025 and recorded live.
