An empty chair set by a window has many stories to tell. This captivating subject makes for an excellent opportunity to learn about the perspective and the arrangement of shapes to create a strong composition. With elements of both indoor and outdoor painting, study the play of light and learn how to make the window serve as a background or accent of the composition. Rendering a simple hardback chair or a saggy overstuffed chair, work with color/value relationships and varied edges. An empty chair is waiting for you! Reference material provided. Introductory watercolor experience needed.
