A Note Hung On the Wall of A Jack Reid Instruction Class

This speaks volumes:

Luminosity
Value
Design/composition


NOT trees, people, rocks, water, houses, barns!  


SHAPES!

In other words he's saying to concentrate on the overall impact of your painting instead of getting too lost in details and specifics too early.  View your objects and figures as shapes in relation to composition.  Good stuff!
