Introducing her painting tutorials, Dianne shows you the basics of simple image placement, how to simplify the palette and set it up in value lines, then how to read and block in with light and shadow and refine with variation. All lessons to follow depend upon these four skills. Also in this lesson, Dianne talks about training your awareness away from what the image is as a way to enhance your painting skills.

In this series, Dianne introduces you to her language and her manner of teaching.  Believing that composing is our true nature and therefore the heartbeat of painting, Dianne is passionate about artists learning to compose at the beginning of their journey.  Technique alone is empty without awareness.

 With every brushstroke we make, we are composing.  Just as with any creation, we begin with a structure, then as the art work begins we place shapes, values and colors according to the concept with which we are working.  The more we practice, the deeper our experience becomes. We move to a higher levels of thinking and decision-making. We have moments when our intention is to bring clarity and resolution to the work.

It’s not necessary to memorize principles when we can turn them into tools and make them work for us one at a time.  If we focus on them as individual organic slices of the total creative process, they become second nature to the way we work.  THAT gives us unlimited potential to creative expression.   They are as simple as learning to drive a car.
