Do you ever look at your surroundings and think: "These colors are magical! I wish I could translate them into a painting!" Two of the biggest challenges when painting from life can be depicting colors and values naturalistically. Much of painting is not only mixing an accurate color on your palette, but training your eye to judge relationships between colors and values successfully. In this course, we'll sharpen your perceptual abilities. We'll dive into the world of hue, value, and chroma, as well as palette organization, leveling up your painting game. Experience with drawing is recommended for this class, though beginner painters are welcome. Each session will include a lecture and demo by the instructor along with individual critiques. We will complete two paintings in this course – two sessions for each painting. Our goal is accurate and naturalistic color studies, rather than highly resolved paintings.
