RITA WEGE (Suggested for Stage Three; Learning)
Rita Wege had two issues she wanted help on. One was making expressive and gestural marks remain cohesive in a painting and the other was knowing how to keep intuitive marks once she gets to the editing stage and applying the principles. In this Art Critique, Susan Melrath guides Rita through some very practical methods to achieve both—ones that many of us can use in our own work!
In this video you will learn:
• Everything has value, and it’s relative to its environment.
• Negative space can be too important if we don’t have ways to transition between shapes or areas of contrast.
• Go BIG with differences right from the start.
• Use dark and light construction paper to test out adding or eliminating shapes.
