"Swimming in Paint" is always about following the light, painting shapes with colour and energy!
As a kid, library books gave easy access to the visual arts and artists like Turner. Turner's brilliant sunrise painting below got my attention early on.

REFERENCES
Friday and Saturday, the demos and team project will be painting London and Venice. There will be references to work from - each will have a clear painting idea.....so just choose one and run with it!
If a team member has a special subject they want to paint, that's OK, providing it represents a solid single idea. Otherwise be prepared to paint one of the references provided.
Some team members have requested time to finish previous class paintings. They can bring their unfinished work and finish up.
The ultimate goal of "Swimming-in-Paint" is to discover that "Signature Look" in a team member!
While we could end up with a masterpiece, this exercise is not about making a masterpiece. If it doesn't work, wipe it off, jump in again - always with energy!
For those who can't make the class or live in distant lands, download the references and try this at home. Email me at Chuck@Larivey.com with your results - I would love to see them:=)
J. M. W. Turner

Joseph
Mallord William Turner, RA was an English Romanticist landscape
painter. Turner was considered a controversial figure in his day, but is
now regarded as the artist who elevated landscape painting to an
eminence rivalling history painting.
