Colour & Light
Acrylics & Oils. All abilities
Two things that have fascinated painters as far back as we can go...
​
...but also two things that can some times feel elusive, intangible and tricky to master.
​
Creating interesting and exciting light can bring a painting to life, and working with certain colours can completely alter the mood and the way we "feel" a subject.
​
A lot of it comes down to how we observe and interpret our subject, which we will look closely at; but as always there are plenty of other parts of the painting process that can help us get to grips and bring to life these two key principles:
-
What to look for in a subject
-
What to put in and what to leave out
-
How to look for and paint the light
-
How does light effect different colours
-
Colour mixing
-
Creating dram, atmosphere & mood in a painting
-
The different ways we can use colours
-
How to use different colours and staurations to draw attention to different area
