Gaye Adams - The Daily Painting Experience - Intermediate Course Outline This workshop draws its learning techniques from the Daily Painting Movement. The goal is to paint exactly what you see, not in a tight fashion but in an authentic and accurate way, seeing the correct value, colour and spatial relationships. Fundamentals such as composition, drawing for painting, tonality, colour mixing, etc. will be covered. Students may work in oil, acrylic or soft pastel. Bio Gaye Adams has been painting professionally for over 20 years and has earned awards for her work at the national and international levels.
