Understanding Temperature – The key to mastering color
Whether they are landscape, figurative, or still life painters, many artists say that color
is what attracted them to painting in the first place. But, amazingly, many artists also say that their number one problem is seeing and painting sparkling color. They marvel at the brilliant effects achieved by Sorolla, Zorn, and Monet, without understanding the principles that lead to those effects. Typical artists’ complaint are: “My color is flat” …or “muddy”…or “garish”…or “unrealistic”.
The cure is at hand!
In this one-day pastel workshop you will learn:
-
