Program: Better Compositions by Avon Waters
NIPs member Avon Waters’ presentation on composition features a brief overview of his two-year study of composition from some of the foremost experts on the subject. He has presented this topic in a three-hour workshop featuring demonstrations of 20 different composition designs. His 30-minute discussion cannot cover all the designs, but he will give members a taste of how good composition can position artist to be in the running for sales and awards.
Avon began painting before he started school. He studied art at IU and is a regular workshop attendee. He started out painting in oils but switched to pastel three years ago. He has won awards this year at the New Harmony Hoosier Salon, Heartland Artists Gallery, the Honeywell Clark Gallery, Decatur printout, and the TC Steele Memorial art contest in Brown County. His work is on exhibit at the Minneterista Center, Heartland Artist Gallery in Plymouth, in the Senate offices in the Capitol Building, Washington DC, and a solo show at the Kokomo Art Center.
