I sort of stumbled onto this class. I had just abandoned a painting of a hawk soaring over a meadow. I knew something was wrong, the painting wasn\'t going anywhere. This class told me why - I was violating a bunch of rules. Just having an interesting subject is not enough. This class shows what it takes to make a painting work. If I try the hawk painting again, I have a lot of work to do to make the composition work. Very helpful class.

Thank you for this tutorial. I am getting back into painting after a long time of not painting. Your tutorial reminded me of the early days and it was great to go back to basics again.
