Sunlight on Oak Creek
An Oil Painting instructional video by Martha Saudek
Join Martha Saudek, CAC as she proceeds through a series of considerations to best achieve a balanced, cohesive landscape painting. Martha chooses a subject from her source material and selects a canvas shape to best fit it. She creates a series of thumbnail compositions based on the shape to determine a design with clarity and focus. After planning her layout, Martha chooses a dominant color temperature and explores her options for value distribution. Making these key decisions early in the process gives her constant points of reference and frees her to intuit smaller details in the painting.
Martha Saudek emphasizes drawing skill and color theory to keep her composition interesting and balanced. She measures key distances on her photo and canvas to maintain the integrity of her design. She establishes her focal point as early as possible and uses it to determine the balance and level of detail in the rest of the painting. She blocks in her lightest lights then begins work on the cool color scheme she planned at the beginning of the workshop. As she works she pauses to evaluate her composition and balance. The ongoing analysis helps her make revisions early and stay faithful to her design principles. Martha uses mid-sized brites by Grand Prix. Misc.: Odorless Turponiod, Safflower, Paper towels.

Review From Adelle Greenfield
Not only is this an oil painting lesson, it’s a good lesson on composition beginning with questions you should ask yourself when working in plein air like what is your subject and why. Is it the water, the rocks, the foliage, or do you want to emphasize the sky? What about it excites you, and what attracts you to the scene? And consider how the shape and size of the canvas you choose impacts the mood of your painting.
Planning her composition, she believes in solving design problems ahead of time so you don’t have to go back and readjust. Figure out where you want your focal point because it will have more contrast and detail so you’ll spend most of your time painting this area. Decide on your dominant color temperature (she works with Hal Reed’s analogous color wheel). Think of your shapes and value distribution. As she sketches her darker values, she says, “I’m not thinking rock; I’m thinking values.”
