COMING BACK THIS SUMMER! Learn and practice Color
In this class we are going to explore the three Properties of Color and apply their relationships with each other on poster studies exercises. Poster Studies (or color studies) are used to describe light and form and value and color composition in a very general, flat and loose way.
Using both masterworks images and from Life references, students will watch a guided step by step 12+Hours of Recording demos, plus receive online critiques. This class has 8 Sessions. Each week you watch a 2h Video (you can watch, rewatch, anytime, on your own) Students work on their assignments, submit them each session for weekly zoom group meetings critiques every Thursdays.
Registration at Grand Central Atelier website. This class is currently IN SESSION but will come back this summer 2024.
