About this lesson

A photographed walk-through of making an original Neoplastic painting: plan the grid with paper strips or tape on primed canvas, redraw it in charcoal with a ruler, paint the black bars first, then the whites and primaries, and repaint sections until the balance feels right. Also covers how Mondrian himself revised his canvases.
