Ian Roberts – Mastering Composition Volume 1,2
DVD-Video | RS & HF | 3.85GB + 2.86GB
Most unsuccessful paintings are ruined before the brush even gets to the canvas. Why?
Weak composition. There’s no structure. No foundation.
If you start a painting that lacks structure–well, you know the experience… repainting this part, overworking that and getting lost and frustrated about how to proceed. And until that structural problem is understood it will continue to plague, frustrate and hamper each painting’s progress and success.
Composition is the bedrock of every good representational painting.
For something as fundamental as this it’s surprising it isn’t isolated and taught more often.
Go to the list of classes at your local art college and see if you can find a course on composition.
Ian Roberts has taught painting to hundreds of students in Provence and Tuscany, as well as the U.S. through his school Atelier Saint-Luc. He realized after teaching workshops for the past ten years to both beginners and professionals, if there was room for one badly needed teaching tool to help representational painters, composition was it.
So he has developed a unique video course that will teach you the basics of strong compositions. It will dramatically improve your painting, whether you paint landscapes,
This video course is packed with over 2-1/2 hours of knowledge, encouragement, insight, tips, exercises, graphics and animation sequences, critiques, and demonstrations. Every thing you need to dramatically improve your painting.
What you will learn and the benefits you will gain:
* shows a working method to develop a strong composition before you start to paint
* gives a structure so your painting approach can be bolder, less tentative
* shows better design equals better painting
* gives you a roadmap so you know where you’re trying to go and where to stop
* shows you how your eye moves on your painting so you become attuned to what is actually happening rather than what you hope is happening

All link interchangable
Great post!
Thanks for sharing.
naveen, man, you are great. I just live that web-site.
Thanks a lot.
Thanks a lot! and Merry Christmas!
For Volume 1, Rapidshare files 3, 6, 10 and 11 are corrupt. I downloaded each one 5 or 6 times, and every time when trying to extract, those specific files gave me CRC errors. Has anyone else downloaded these from Rapidshare and had Volume 1 or Volume 2 extract successfully?
For Volume 2, Rapidshare files 7 and 11 give repeated CRC errors. I downloaded each one multiple times, because sometimes Rapidshare downloads can be corrupted while downloading. I’ve never had Rapidshare corrupt a downloaded file 6 times in a row. I’d guess either the file was corrupted during upload or was corrupt to begin with.
Could someone re-up working versions of the corrupted Rapidshare files? Volume 1 needs working versions of parts 3, 6, 10 and 11, and Volume 2 needs working parts 7 and 11 reuploaded.
Thanks!
@Mixxon: I had the same problem with Vol. 1 (3,6,10,11) and I am trying to download them from the different mirrors now.
Vol. 2 unrar’ed fine for me. I got parts 7 and 11 from the hotfiles mirror.
Unfortunately every blog out there that has this listed has the exact same links. :(
Part 3 I got from Rapidshare but parts 6,10,11 I needed to get from Hotfiles…not sure why, but when I got the parts from the other service it worked fine. Maybe those files are corrupted on the Rapidshare version?
It finally all worked, but it took some workaround.
I forgot to mention parts 5 and 6 on Volume 6 (in Rapidshare) are also corrupt.
By the way, I was able to download working versions of these files via Hotfile, so at least we know the original versions are working.
thanks for share, but the files dont have the recovery record. Conclusion: Corrupted files ruined all the download in both sites, rapidshare and hotfile.
What is the password to the first volume?
i have the same problem with parts 3,6,10,11 can anyone fix these links ?
Anyone know what the password is for volume 1?
google it guys and download it from different source, fixing all those corrupted files… Who has time?!!!
