SIP - Summer Boot Camp - Art Suitable for prime display.

Starting June 1st, SIP is launching our first-ever Summer Boot Camp, "An Introduction to Creating Best Wall Paintings."  Paintings suitable for prime display spaces. 

Seeing your work on the wall is essential to understand what a “Best Wall Painting” means. It’s not about peer credits, exhibits, or awards, though these are useful for marketing.

The finishing touch - A proper frame 

Lily Reverie by Joan Layne

Joan's original work is 48x36 oil on canvas

The odds are against a painting at the outset. We can make art all day long, but in the end, it has to resonate with an unknown outsider to find a home or a wall. The size, color, subject, price, and a long list of other factors on someone's wish list have to quintessentially match up. Compromise is probably not on the table.

In our last example, we had a viable alternative the original 48x36 oil painting. A high quality digital capture of Joan's lovely original oil painting was available. Flexible use of Joan's original painting and use of the 150 year copyright on her original works. Verisart  certification and impeccable quality improves the chance of a compromise. 
  
The summer program is an "introduction" because mastering this skill is not something you can achieve in a day, a month, or perhaps even a year. Typical short workshops lack the continuous format needed to keep you focused on a single target.... Best Walls. SIP is a long-term commitment to mastering a subject, or in this case, creating a "Best Wall Painting".

 
Everyone knows what a boot camp is.... an exciting new adventure. Follow us and join the journey. This summer, it’s all about creating "The Best Wall Painting.
