In this 8-week course, students will learn the fundamentals of the most exciting and expressive part of painting: color and light. Color is such an instinctual thing, and it can be difficult to know how to find a foundation of theory to back up the intuition. Through lectures, demos, and exercises designed to target these gaps in knowledge, students will learn how to turn intuition into confidence.

We’ll cover:

    • How to harness your intuition to use color and light to tell a story

 

    • The importance of failing

 

    • How to retain useful knowledge from studying

 

    • The scientific side of light and color

 

    And more!
