In this preview from Debora Stewart’s http://ArtistsNetwork.tv video, Exploring Composition & Color in Abstract Art, you’ll find many drawing and painting lessons for success. First, practice drawing a cruciform composition, learning how to draw linework that has visual interest. Then learn color tips—even when working with common color schemes you can vary the colors within the color family for fun and interest. Lastly, try acrylic brushwork and pastel techniques for creating underpaintings and layers of texture that lead to exciting paintings.
