Are you tired of creating paintings that people just walk by and ignore?

I believe that in painting just as in music, composition is one of the most important elements. A beautifully composed song can bring a tear to our eyes even when performed just reasonably well by a group of school children. By the same token, even Michael Buble can’t make a bad song sound good. 

The same applies to our paintings. A great composition that is only executed moderately well can still result in a very successful painting. A poor composition dooms a painting to failure right from the beginning, regardless of the “technical skill” of the artist.

When you combine a great composition with technical skill then you are on the road to consistently creating great paintings that stop people in their tracks and draw them in.

In this 12 part course I explain how you can use composition to dramatically increase the impact and appeal of your work.
