William A. Schneider: Composition Secrets for Figure Painting

In this instructional video, you will see, firsthand, why Bill believes that composition trumps everything else, and why it’s crucial that you continue to study and apply design and composition to every painting you create.

Here’s a bit of what you’re going to discover with Bill Schneider:

• The ONE thing that will make or break your figure paintings
• Composition and design math — Bill makes this much easier for you!
• What NOT to do if you want to sell your paintings
• Fix this in your painting now, or run into mayhem later!
• The secret to making your figure paintings look more natural (great artists know this, and now you will, too!)
• And lots, lots more!

Truly understanding and developing composition skills is critical if you want to become a much better figure painter. And now, you have the opportunity to learn directly from Bill Schneider, one of the best when it comes to the architecture and carpentry of figure painting.

With over four hours of instruction and demonstration, you’ll experience a deep exploration of how composition works, including visual concept, storytelling, placement, dominant value, color, and motifs. And if you’ve ever been confused by the formulas and measurements used in design, you’re in for a real treat because Bill presents these topics in a practical, tangible way that will allow you to get it and apply it right away.

To further reinforce the lesson, Bill will show you the design concepts used in a few of his own paintings, and some from famous artists such as J.W. Waterhouse, Joaquin Sorolla, and Anders Zorn. Once you see how these paintings were designed, you’ll never look at them, or any painting, the same way again!

A Great Way to Grow as an Artist

Learning by video is an excellent way for you to accelerate your own skills because you can paint right along with Bill as he walks you through each step. You can rewind for a do-over whenever needed, as well as pause and come back later if you get interrupted. The video is available in both DVD and digital download, so the choice is yours!

Not only is Composition Secrets for Figure Painting a must-have resource for every figure painter, the lessons, tips, tools, and techniques are highly relevant for any artist, using any medium, who wants to take their design and composition skills deeper in order to create more interesting and meaningful paintings.
