Exploring Color & Light with Oil Painting 

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.
Each morning and afternoon, I will begin with a short lecture and a demo, followed by 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 own color reference Charts.
In the afternoon. I will demonstrate how to create a color card for the photo reference to be used in your
painting and show techniques to start a basic monochromatic underpainting of lights, middles, and darks. You
will finish your color charts/cards and start your underpainting from the photo reference.
 

On Day Two:
In the morning, I will demonstrate the start of the color layer for the painting using what we learned on the
previous day. You will work on your painting with one-on-one instruction following the demo.
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.
At the end of the second day, time permitting, we will have a group critique and review of the painting you have
completed.
