Learning from Light and Shadow
The colors of each time of day, each season, and each place in the world all evoke associations that speak softly or shout for attention. Learning the natural language of color will help take your work to a whole new level.
Nature gives numerous clues about how to add luster, luminosity, iridescence and three dimensional effects to your work just by playing with color values and saturations. Learning how to use natural color flows will add harmony to your pieces – or you can break nature’s rules and create a feeling of dissonance if that is the intention behind your color choices.
This hands-on workshop includes exercises on the relationship between color and light, the concept of color flow, and the dynamics of color temperature and contrast.
Come explores many ways to add meaning and depth to your work by using colors inspired by nature!
