WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
These notes and guidelines will help you understand how I approach a painting and what to expect from my workshop.

Please look at my website ( http://www.timsaternow.com ) and see what I paint.
You DO NOT have to choose an image like mine, but it will give you a very good idea about what my painting subjects and techniques are like.

RESEARCH PHOTOGRAPHS:
I tend to paint NYC urban landscapes and older houses. But any city, town, industrial area, gorgeous travel shots, or farm scenes are great. Research should be mostly of architectural subjects. Be aware of too many trees or too much sky.
Also be aware of photos that look GREAT as a photo (sunsets, night scenes, lots of reflections, ‘photo effects’ like blurring, burn-outs, etc.).
Ask yourself: Where can I take this research with paint that goes beyond this photograph?
How can I make this a much more exciting painting then a photo?
If you’re not sure how to answer this, then this workshop is perfect for you.
* Please remember: We are not here to duplicate photographs.*
If you paint fast, have a second painting ready and drawn out on paper.
If you are unsure of any of these following notes, please feel free to email me: Tim.Saternow@gmail.com
