Most artists approach composition with a sense of intuition. We see something, or perhaps arrange something, that pleases us and then go about painting it. While intuition is useful, it has its limits. This class introduces the analytical side of composing paintings. This technical understanding is employed to complement your natural creative sense of design. The result is dramatically more engaging, purposeful, and confident compositions.  In this class, you will learn the elements and principles of design. You will see examples of how Steve has used these in his paintings. You will also explore the secret compositional hack of using the Golden Ratio and Fibonacci Spiral to improve your designs dramatically.  For the class project, you will focus on a few important principles in creating a composition from two sources and use the sacred geometry of the Golden Ratio and Fibonacci Spiral to enhance your design.
