Get inspired by your favourite holiday memories or daydream about the next adventure.
Where do you dream of going? What will you bring? OR What holiday do you want to commemorate?
Surfing in Morocco… Art retreat in Tuscany… Food and cooking tour of Vietnam… Photography expedition through India… Hiking in Yosemite National Park… we are going to let our art take us there!
Flatlays are a great exercise in composition and balance. We will cover the main concepts of good design and apply them to the course project. These include colour, contrast, rhythm, repetition, and negative space.
Illustrating a range of related icons is a great addition to your portfolio.
The course project can be framed or used as a greeting card, or even be included in a holiday photo album.
This course is a concise and jam-packed 40 minutes that you’ll want to rewatch as you work through your own composition. You will learn:
- Selecting colour to convey mood
- A number of strategies that you can use to develop your colour schemes.
- How to brainstorm and refine selected icons.
- Flatlay composition for balance and interest.
- Creating an on-trend colour scheme that is still unique to your style and aesthetic.
- Painting – Working in layers and then fitting the pieces of the puzzle.
Some project ideas to get you started:
- Camping
- Yoga retreat
- Hiking
- Biking
