AN OUTSTANDING MAIDEN VOYAGE

Those participating in the Translating Color & Value Workshop are doing amazing work. Currently, each of them is creating a study using the principles we worked with on Wednesday. And they are preparing for the individual mentoring sessions with me over the weekend, to be followed by our Wrap Up session on Monday.

Our team is thrilled with the success of this first (of its kind anywhere) live on-line workshop. Six days are devoted to one principle with students from around the globe working in their own environs!

USING SPLIT COMPLEMENTS BEGINS SEPTEMBER 12!

In this workshop, we will learn how to find and set up a split complementary palette and how to use it to create color harmony, add vibrancy and use subtle neutrals to give unity to our compositions.

To register, to HERE, cursor down and you'll find it.

Here's another one of my paintings where I used the split complementary scheme. For this one I used red-orange, blue and green.

MORE COLOR VIDEO LESSONS

Color as a composing element can be far more than just a describer. One thing we can do with it is to modulate, giving our images more life. Two of the most difficult colors to modulate are yellow and green. I explore these is Series 19:Modulating Color.

CHART YOUR PALETTE

One of the earliest Quick Tips I did is how to chart your palette. If we identify our tube colors as to their inherent hue, value and intensity, we have a head start towards knowing when to choose each color we use while painting. It's a good Saturday project. In case you haven't seen that Tip, here it is:
