When It’s Time To Be (in the) Negative!
Brenda Swenson is a pro when it comes to finding the positive in the negative!
As artists, we’re always looking to advance our skills so we can become better painters. We can’t just learn one or two techniques and stick with those — we must constantly be learning and practicing new and different techniques.
Today, you’re going to hear about a technique that might be new to you. But whether it’s new or you’ve been practicing and painting this way for years, you’re sure to learn something amazing by discovering the value of painting in the negative spaces!
“Painting is how I experience the world!”
— Brenda Swenson
An observer of life, Brenda Swenson has a particular talent for observing the beauty, color, and glow found in everyday scenes and bringing these elements into her paintings.
The technique of painting in the negative space will have you developing your composition with layers of color — you’ll be painting around a subject to define it rather than painting the object itself.
This clarity will bring you great confidence as you paint wet-into-wet, complete the underpainting, paint into wet passages, and add glazes.
If this is all familiar to you, Brenda will help you advance your skills by incorporating her proven techniques.
If this type of painting is new to you, you’ll be on your way to loving how this type of painting will breathe new life into your work!
Handle Your Watercolor
Knowing that watercolor can be tricky, Brenda helps you strengthen your understanding of pigments and how they directly relate to this complex medium. You’ll see how to create interesting shapes and tremendous depth of color and light by using transparent glazes.
Not only will this help you build a better painting from the start, you’re going to discover how Brenda brings in that signature glow that her paintings are well known for!
Capture Their Attention

We all know that it’s very difficult to resist a painting that is full of light — we’re all captivated by that special brilliance and we can’t wait to see what the artist is showing off in the light!
Now, you can be that artist … the one capturing the attention of others by generating a beautiful glow with watercolor paint.

Brenda will also help you understand all of the codes found on tubes of paint and how to buy the right one when names are similar.
Not One, But TWO Demonstrations!
This workshop-style video includes instruction and TWO painting demonstrations — with the first, Brenda will help you see differently. You won’t believe how much easier painting will be for you when you’re looking at people and objects from a painter’s perspective. You’ll now be able to paint the right stuff from the scene so that your paintings are exciting and interesting.
In the second demonstration, Brenda shows you how to put everything you’ve learned together in a vibrant flower painting.
