I will be answering this question and many others in this two-day demonstration workshop.
Working from a single object still life, we will methodically isolate the elements of hue, value, and chroma needed to create a specific palette. You can determine the component colors of ANY subject using this method.
Perceiving and mixing color need not be a confusing or frustrating process. If you have struggled to paint naturalistic color from life, this class is for you!
During two live Zoom meetings, I will demonstrate how to create and use a specific color string palette for our subject. You will be able to ask questions during the live class.
At the end of the first session, I will give you some homework. In the week between sessions, you can post images of your work to the class's community forum where I will review it and make comments.
The usefulness of color strings will become clear as we bring our still life to a nuanced and complex stage in the second class.
Note: This is a comprehensive follow-up to the one-day workshop, Introduction to Color Strings.
You will be able to review the full HD recordings of Painting with Color Strings as often as you like.
We created a set of Color Checkers that are a simple but very useful tool. They allow you to isolate and compare the colors of the subject with those on your painting.
