This two day workshop will provide practical insight and experience for the painter in color and value, color and palette choices for capturing light and temperature, color in landscape painting, color in portraits, Fauvist and expressive color. Students will produce a number of exercise paintings.
The workshop will be introduced with an overview of color usage in painting and followed by group critiques on Zoom. Three Zoom meetings will take place, one the evening before, and one at the end of each of the two days. Questions and discussions are highly encouraged and a goal is developing a personal approach to color.
