March 28, 2026 10AM-4PM - $100 per person
This class is for artists who want to gain a better understanding of how light affects what we observe within our paintings. This workshop will useful cover information about hue, saturation, chroma, & temperature. We will explore how light interacts with objects, moves through space, and creates atmosphere. We’ll engage with tone in order to recognize points of contrast and become sensitive to the subtle moments. This class will help students develop strategies for organizing and applying accurate perceptual color in their work. Students who complete this course will have the knowledge they’ll need to think about how to use light, shadow, tone, and color in meaningful and expressive ways.
Materials list:
Painting oils/acrylics:
- Paints: Titanium White, Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, Cadmium Red, Cadmium Yellow, Ultramarine BlueAll other colors are optional
-Brushes: A variety of brush sizes and shapes, as well as, both stiff and soft bristles are recommended.
-Palette Knife: I use a medium/small metal diamond shaped palette knife for both mixing and application of paint.
-Artist Palette: A proper wood or glass palette is recommended, palette paper will work fine for this workshop. Please avoid creative substitutes (such as watercolor palettes, paper plates, anything wrapped in tinfoil, etc.) as they tend to cause problems during the painting process.
-Surface: A primed and stretched canvas, or hardboard panel is best for painting. A heavy bodied paper, such as watercolor paper, will also work.
-Lint Free Rags or paper Towels
-(Optional) For oils -Turpentine, Odorless Turpiniod, or Mineral Spirits:Good for cleaning brushes, but I just use soap and water. For Acrylic- jar for water
