Fractured Painting demonstration

This is a demonstration I did for my students at MCC on Fractured Painting. The idea is to break the composition in to parts or fractures. They can be asymmetrical or symmetrical as in the example below. Then you paint each section as if it were its own painting, yet keeping the balance of how it relates to the whole.

Watercolor demonstration

I teach watercolor at Mesa Community College for the Community Education department. This is one of my demonstrations I did in class on spontaneous watercolor painting. This was a 15 minute demonstration of a simple seascape - waves crashing against the rocks using a limited color scheme of Cerulean Blue, Paynes Gray, Burnt Sienna and a little Viridian Green. Painted on Strathmore velum board.
