In this course, we will dive further into color theory with Color Temperature. We will build on the previous course in Color Temperature by exploring the full spectrum of color. Learning the fundamentals will help you to paint more intuitively and freely!

***While this course was created using Oil Paint, this is a concept that applies to ALL artistic mediums. So feel free to join us and to post projects with the medium of your choice!***

In this course, you will learn:

How the Master Artists used temperature to create masterpieces that evoke emotion
How to classify your own colors in terms of temperature.
How to mix a full spectrum of colors from a limited palette
How to mix neutral colors from a limited palette
How to create a painting that feels "warm" and sunny AND how to create a painting that feels "cool" and stormy... all from ONE reference
How to unleash the power of color temperature to create a non-traditional (and very unique) limited palette

As we learned in my courses on Poster Studies and Value & Form Studies, value is the backbone of art -- we can do a LOT with it, and it's crucial to study. But of course we want to get into color! You are going to be amazed by how much you can do with just a few colors!

From my teaching experience, color temperature can be a slippery concept. Students often ask "Is this color warm or cool?" and I respond, "Compared to what?" That's because color temperature is always relative. In this course, I will help you to understand color temperature in a way that is easy to understand and will help to unleash your understanding of color. The end goal is to help you learn to paint intuitively, because painting can and should be relaxing and rejuvenating!

Have fun and feel free to share your color temperature studies in the project section!
