Broken color refers to the use of applying distinct brushstrokes of different colors side-by-side, allowing the viewer’s eye to optically mix them rather than blending the paint. I will be doing demos, slideshows and illustrations to explain how to effectively use this technique. Homework will be suggested and Photoshop will be used to provide detailed visual critiques of students works.

Barbara Schilling grew up in a small farming community on the East side of the state. She moved to Grand Rapids in 1973 to attend Kendall School of Design. She has been here ever since.
In one discipline or another she has been involved with art her entire life. Barbara worked as a Restoration Artist and Conservator for over 35 Years. Now retired from Restoration she dedicates her time to her own art.
As an oil painter her work has been strongly influenced by the bold, impressionist art of Contemporary Russian painters. As a result, her own painting has become bolder and more expressionistic.
“Painting to me is about capturing the energy of a subject. I love strong textures, thick paint and vibrant colors.
I search to find a balance between the abstract and the representational. I love the tactile feel of pushing thick paint around and layering juxtaposing color notes. I have moved away from a more literal translation of my subject to a more emotional response.”
Barbara is a signature member of Oil Painters of America (OPA), and American Impressionists Society (AIS).
She is represented by Frames Unlimited Galleries in Michigan and Ohio Mary Williams Fine Art in Boulder, Colorado Synchronicity Gallery in Glen Arbor, Michigan Eisele Fine Art Gallery in Cincinnati, Ohio Lovetts Gallery in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
