Poetry vs Journalism - In this demo, we’ll explore how to infuse a poetic quality into your artwork, moving beyond a strictly representational, journalistic style. We’ll focus on techniques that evoke mood, emotion, and atmosphere, capturing the essence and feeling of a scene rather than simply documenting it. Learn how to use color, light, texture, and composition to tell a story that resonates deeply with the viewer, inviting them into an experience that is both personal and universal. Join us to transform your paintings from descriptive works into evocative expressions, where each brushstroke becomes a line of poetry on the canvas.
