Tweaking Class: Collaroy by Maria
Maria tweaked two paintings in this session.
Before and After
Collaroy Plateau by Maria Imelda Argel.
The resultant painting was a very painterly landscape suggestive of Cezanne.
Tweaks:
- Moved the tall palm tree.
- Changed the skyline.
- Added houses
- Added shadows
- We didn't change any of the original colours and textures - they survived as highlights on the trees.
Collaroy Beach by Maria Imelda Argel.
Tweaks:
- Created distance by the use of lower chroma colours on the headland.
- More convincing movement and colour to the waves.
- More colour and texture on the sand.
"The tweaking session was my 5th coaching session. I brought in 2 of my own compositions- Collaroy Beach and the view from our balcony in Collaroy. The session made possible the transformation of my originals into "master pieces" I can be proud of. I recommend anyone wanting to pursue painting as a hobby like me or as a career to try a coaching session with Peter. Am sure you will want to move forward with his coaching." Maria Imelda Argel, retired Solicitor |
