Impactful Light and Color in Oil Painting
Too often a skillful approach to color is not taught in the art school environment. Yet gaining mastery of color takes time and discipline. This mentorship program is an ideal way for artists to get a deep understanding of the complex and foundational parts of oil painting. Ray Bonilla has received wide acclaim for his approach to color, both in the worlds of illustration and in gallery art. His teaching will apply to both of those worlds. The class is highly structured: Ray will walk students through the processes of creating four paintings over the course of the semester. Students will practice making monochromatic studies and color wheels. They will learn multiple approaches to creating an underpainting and working with both transparent glazes and thicker, opaque paint on top of an underpainting. Students will learn how to work with two traditional color palettes: the Zorn palette and the Chromatic palette. Dedicated students will gain a firm grasp of how to use color for maximum impact in their paintings.
After taking this class students will also receive a free profile on the Smarter Art Market, a destination for art directors and collectors.
