This is an unusual approach to painting in that it’s more akin to sculpting with colored shapes in order to capture the effects of form, light and atmosphere. You will learn how to hone color perception and notice the “umbrella of light” (Monet's term) that everything sits in. You will learn a way of using your eyes that allows this perception to develop, as well as a way of applying paint or pastel to find these colors in your pigments. Using simple still-life set ups, you will learn a new language based in real-world sensations of color that give you a broader facility in the style of painting suits you.
