Tiffanie Mang's Professional Series: Composing with Intention

🎨 Join Tiffanie Mang in the first installment of her professional series, crafted for artists ready to take their work to the next level. This 3+ hour course dives into the fundamentals of composition, with a special focus on Value, Notan, and Compositional Grids—essential tools for creating art that communicates clearly and powerfully.

Begin with the Matrix (Notan) of a painting. Learn to identify the harmony between light and dark shapes, simplifying complex scenes into just two values. Tiffanie demonstrates how mastering Notan allows you to organize compositions that read effectively both up close and at a distance. Explore C.S.I. lines and discover how curves and straight lines guide the eye, structure the image, and reinforce clarity.

Next, step into Value and uncover its critical role in shaping mood and energy. Follow Tiffanie as she demonstrates how adjusting the value key can dramatically change the emotional impact of a piece. You’ll gain hands-on strategies for using value to control focus, establish depth, and convey narrative with precision.

Finally, explore Compositional Grids to achieve balance and guide the viewer’s eye. Learn the three foundational types: centerline, division of thirds, and diamond grids. Through Tiffanie’s examples and master studies, you’ll see how legendary artists have used grids to structure even the most complex arrangements, creating harmony and visual impact.
