Warm and Cool Light, Warm and Cool Colors
November 30 - December 4, 2009 (9 AM - 4 PM) — This workshop will use still life as a means to study light, an artist's greatest gift. In the first three days of class students will paint from "warm" studio light on larger canvases, with emphasis on composition, drawing, and value. The last two days, students will have the opportunity to paint from "cool" north daylight, indoors. The set ups will be for smaller canvases and quicker studies. The purpose is to understand the difference between the two different temperatures of light and the effect it has on color relationships. Students of all levels will find these studies valuable no matter what subject matter they may ultimately wish to pursue.  Website: http://reg129.imperisoft.com/SAS/ProgramDetail/33373332/Registration.aspx
