Strategic Tools for Planning Your Painting
November10, 2025
Host Anne-Karine Bley
A video lesson with artist Jill Carver about three of the tools she uses to plan her paintings: Concept, shape, and value.
Jill’s teaching focuses heavily on design and composition as a means to map out the creative process. We focused on three of her Tools: concept, shape, and value.
An interesting tip. Do your sketching on a white board - easy to erase, and especially helpful if you have to start over with your sketch.
For more information about the video and artist, please find a link to the marketing page for this video below:
