Join Dana to explore the essential foundations of light and color in painting. Demonstrations will be in oil, but other painting mediums are welcome.

Some experience in painting is required.

The class will begin each morning and afternoon with a short lecture, a demo, hands-on painting, and individual instruction.

On Day One:
In the morning, you will learn about color and light and how they affect values, color mixing, and light and shadow. I will discuss palette options and how to decide what to use in your painting. You will then use your color palette to create your color reference charts.

In the afternoon, I will demonstrate how to create a color card for the photo reference you will use in your painting and show techniques for starting a basic monochromatic underpainting of lights, middles, and darks. You will then finish your color charts/cards and start underpainting them from the photo reference.

On Day Two:
In the morning, I will demonstrate how to start the color layer for the painting using what we learned the previous day. Following the demo, you will work on your painting with one-on-one instruction.

In the afternoon, I will demonstrate finishing techniques (scumbling, glazing, etc.), adding details, and how to critique your painting for adjustments. You will complete your painting with one-on-one instruction following the demo.

If time permits, we will have a group critique and review of your completed painting at the end of the second day.
