Ted Smuskiewicz - From the Adventure category:
Don't have preconceived ideas about what you will find outdoors. Each day should be an adventure in finding new things to paint. Go about it with sharp eyes and an open mind, ready to take in anything that comes your way. (Ted Smuskiewicz)
Ted Smuskiewicz - From the Beginning category:
The first lines put on an empty canvas begin to divide its proportions and surface into different picture areas. Not only do these lines block in different forms but they also suggest movement and direction in the picture. (Ted Smuskiewicz)
Ted Smuskiewicz - From the Colour category:
All color depends on good value relationships. If its dark and light values are wrong, a color will never look right. (Ted Smuskiewicz)
Ted Smuskiewicz - From the Composition category:
Everything that is placed within the enclosing borders of the picture rectangle relates in some way to everything else that is already there... some attribute must be shared between all of them. (Ted Smuskiewicz)
Ted Smuskiewicz - From the Confidence category:
Although a good painting can begin in several ways, it is the understanding and skillful use of painting material that first gives control and confidence to a painter. (Ted Smuskiewicz)
Ted Smuskiewicz - From the Drawing category:
You can't see everything at the same time. Your eyes can only see one part at any given moment. Therefore, draw by concentrating on one part at a time, but always compare that part against other things. (Ted Smuskiewicz)
Ted Smuskiewicz - From the Impressionism category:
You are an individual, there is only one of you, so don't paint like everyone else. (Ted Smuskiewicz)
Ted Smuskiewicz - From the Models category:
Never force someone into a pose; it will never look natural. (Ted Smuskiewicz)
Ted Smuskiewicz - From the Painting category:
Leave your strokes alone. (Ted Smuskiewicz)
Ted Smuskiewicz - From the Perspective category:
For more control in achieving depth in a landscape, divide the picture into a foreground, a middle ground and a background. Keep each of these separate with atmospheric perspective. (Ted Smuskiewicz)
Ted Smuskiewicz - From the Skill category:
Let the technical skills you acquire guide your hand but also have the courage to listen to your heart. (Ted Smuskiewicz)
Ted Smuskiewicz - From the Tones category:
The dark and light tonal balance is perhaps the strongest factor affecting the way a painting appears. (Ted Smuskiewicz)
Ted Smuskiewicz - From the Trust category:
Trust yourself. Believe in what you see and paint it that way. (Ted Smuskiewicz)
