Next week in my Modern Painting class 
we’ll be exploring the use of  
zooming in (or cropping) to create more dynamic compositions. 
I did this quickly today 
in oils over an acrylic sketch I’d done in a previous class
(about color)  
“Zooming In”
8 x 8 oil on canva paper
This is a fun way to think about arranging 
bigger shapes and negative space.
”Zooming in” can also alter the subject just enough to add
 a bit of surprise for the viewer.
NOTE: 
While googling “Zooming In for BetterPainting” 
a few painting and photography sites came up, 
but were mostly dominated by sites on 
“How to do a Zoom meeting”.
Times have certainly changed! 
ANOTHER NOTE: 
I’ve just added a new 4 week 
on-line Modern Painting class through the
 Rockport Art Association 
March 30 - April 20.
Space is limited.
