Tony van Hasselt - From the Advice category:
The 's' curve can be found in the human form, in animals, plants, flowers, in anything alive. Keep the straight lines for structures, created from 'dead' materials. This advice is a great help in thinking of dominance and accent. (Tony van Hasselt)
Tony van Hasselt - From the Beginning category:
Don't get hung up on details right away. First bake your cake and then add the icing. (Tony van Hasselt)
Tony van Hasselt - From the Light category:
There cannot be a shadow on top of a shadow. One shadow will cancel out the other one. Or the two together will form one totally new shape. (Tony van Hasselt)
Tony van Hasselt - From the Perspective category:
To increase the illusion of depth in your landscape... keep your active lines up front and slow the linear quality down in the distance. (Tony van Hasselt)
Tony van Hasselt - From the Rules category:
There are no absolutes in art. The words 'always' and 'never' do not exist. (Tony van Hasselt)
Tony van Hasselt - From the Space category:
Sign-painters have the automatic advantage of painting the positive while being aware of the negative. That space between the letters has to be of a consistent visual weight. (Tony van Hasselt)
Tony van Hasselt - From the Subject category:
Keep in mind who is the 'star' of your painting. What was the reason why you painted that subject in the first place? A background should always remain that and never steal the limelight away from your star area. (Tony van Hasselt)
Tony van Hasselt - From the Texture category:
The texture at the edge or value change tells what it is. (Tony van Hasselt)
Tony van Hasselt - From the Values category:
Shadow values must be convincingly dark, especially at their edges. Do not hesitatingly 'whisper' a shadow shape. (Tony van Hasselt)
Tony van Hasselt - From the Watercolours category:
The watercolorist's vocabulary consists of the ability to handle edges in a variety of ways, from soft to hard. (Tony van Hasselt)
