Class Overview

This is only a basic overview - a lot more elaborate information will be shared in class.

• Week 2 - How to use the 9 value system, building upon Module 2's work - learn how to express color in a more advanced way, creating more dynamic compositional emphases through color, creating sophisticated grisailles with subtlety, while painting from observation.
• Week 3 - How to lay in basic colors - a variety of techniques and approaches will be demonstrated and practiced.
• Week 4 - Advanced ways to mix and apply color to a grisaille, using textures and marks through brushwork, advanced color combinations, and more.
