3 Master Tips for Creating Brilliant Paintings

To help you continue growing as artists, we shared these three expert tips during the award night:

  1. Amplify Contrast for Instant DramaBold contrasts between light and dark, or complementary colors, can add depth and intensity to your work. Use contrast to grab attention and create an immediate emotional impact.

  2. The "Hidden Layer" TechniqueAdding subtle, hidden details to your artwork can create intrigue and encourage viewers to spend more time exploring your piece. Layers of meaning make your art more engaging.

  3. Control the Viewer’s JourneyUse elements like composition, lines, and color flow to guide the viewer’s eye across your painting. Lead them through the story you’re telling, making every detail intentional.
