When is your painting done?  Whether you are an abstract painter, an impressionist or a realist, deciding when your painting is done is one of the most difficult challenges painters face. Many painters struggle to understand when to step back from a painting and subsequently overwork
it, or are unsure of changes they can readily make to improve the painting so they abandon it. Guessing at how to correct the problem only takes you farther from your goal, and you can lose the freshness of your painting and the message you want to convey.

In this class we will help you develop the confidence to understand when you have achieved a pleasing balance of value, color and design, and when the narrative of your painting is complete. Developing your ability to step back and evaluate your painting and bring it to another level can help you to create images that will captivate your viewers. This class will include demos, individual instruction, painting exercises, and daily feedback with the group to develop your ability to decide when your painting is done.
