Exploring Color & Light with Oil PaintingDana LombardoOctober 10 & 11, 2025Friday & Saturday 9 - 4 PM$350/person
Supply Listed at https://terrarosagallery.com/workshops
Join me to explore the essential foundations of light and color in painting. I will be demonstrating in oil, but other painting mediums are welcome.
Some experience in painting is required.
I 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.
