“Keep it simple, and edit out what you don’t need.”
– Steve Curry
Simplification is Power
Details can be distracting. With too many things going on in a painting, the viewer can get confused. The eye doesn’t know where to go, and rather than get sucked in and emotionally involved, the viewer will likely just move on.
Steve Curry has proven that less is more when it comes to composition and design.
In this video, Steve will take you through that journey. He will give you tips on how to find the scene elements that inspire YOU.
Notice what we said there. The focus isn’t on finding the scene that inspires you. No, it is on the elements of the scene that inspire you.
And we’re not saying you must find elements that are inspiring to others. No, these elements must inspire YOU.
About the Elements
Entire paintings can be created around only one element that was found in nature. The remainder of the scene could be a figment of your imagination.
Steve has painted en plein air for many years. During those thousands of hours outside, he has developed an ability to find the ONE thing that inspires him. (Or it may be more than one thing.) But often his finished paintings have elements he found in reality AND elements he found in his imagination.
Does this place exist?
What is the Real Secret to Painting like Steve Curry?
One of the first things Steve will share with you is the power of being an original. The goal is never to copy a scene, a style, or an artist. Be your own person. That’s what is at the heart of his new video. He will help you FIND YOUR VOICE.
Easy to Learn From
You’re going to revel in Steve’s easygoing, sometimes comical teaching style as he speaks to the objects in his paintings. This lighter-side instruction makes painting with Steve an absolute joy. When you’re having fun as you learn, you’re much more likely to retain the information and apply it in your own artwork.
