Week 1 – Learning to judge the value equivalency of colors. Having a strong value structure in your painting is very important but unless you are painting in grayscale you need to be able to translate that value in color.
Week 2 – Understanding the importance of color temperature. It is generally accepted that a warm light source creates cooler shadow colors while a cool light source will create warmer shadow colors. If you are finding your paintings feel “muddy”, it may be the temperature relationships that are off.
Week 3 – Using transparent v. opaque pigments correctly. Transparent pigments set back, and opaque pigments feel solid and set forward in your painting.
Week 4 – Working with complimentary colors to create beautiful neutrals. The importance of less intense tones in your painting is the trick to creating colors that “pop”.
