Kathleen Conover-PAINTING FROM THE RIGHT (AND LEFT) SIDE OF THE BRAIN

www.kathleenconover.com

The best paintings aren’t always planned and they aren’t totally intuitive. They are a marriage of intent, basic design skills, and freely expressing our personal interpretation of the world. This perfect marriage comes from the Left (critical thinking, analyzing, planning) and Right (intuitive, expressive, feeling) sides of our brain. When we engage both sides of our brain we are creating from our “head, our hands, and our heart”, and are truly creating our best art.

To best facilitate this, I will present daily demonstrations, provide printed handouts, give individual attention, and ensure independent work time to enable understanding and application of new information and processes. I will clearly present compositional guidelines and self-critiquing techniques for successful painting development (left brain thinking). And, I will guide you into the realm of your personal intuitive powers (right brain FUN!). Artists of all skill-levels are invited, and all painting styles (imagery in realism, abstraction or non-objective work) are encouraged. I share all my “secrets” because, most of all, I want each artist to advance to the next level – no matter where you start.
