We’re going to unpack these questions (and others!), and tackle color for traditional media artists in a systematic, comprehensive way. In the class we'll cover 5 essential skills related to color, and will learn to:

1. Identify basic color characteristics, like value, saturation and temperature


2. Build color harmony & relationships and use the color wheel 


3. Build a palette and use single-pigment media and blended pigment media


4. Use comparison to accurately see the colors in your reference


5. Mix colors you see in your reference, and match them in your painting

We’ll have a series of sit down lessons where I’ll unpack each of these concepts, and then a detailed demo where I’ll create a painting from start to finish, explaining all of my color decisions as I go.
