Color Mixing in Oil – 4 Day Workshop in Scottsdale, Arizona This Spring
Portrait and figure painter Adrian Gottlieb instructs a comprehensive four day course in mixing colors in order to perfectly match any color, with emphasis on flesh tones. The goal of this course is to give beginning oil painters a serious advantage in the necessary skills for successfully reproducing colors in Gottlieb’s later portrait workshops.
On the first day, Gottlieb will give a lecture on the color theory necessary to understanding how chroma works with value to achieve the greatest luminosity. Lectures will continue throughout the course in order to give students the tools they need to mix colors quickly and accurately. Also on the first day, students will learn to make value scales in black and white. The ability to create a value scale will be instrumental in being able to mix color ranges later in the course, as well in mixing color ranges in subject matter in their own paintings.
On the second day, students will mix different color scales according to chroma following the value scales they learned on the first day.
On the third day students will adapt the lesson from the first two days to match color swatches provided by the instructor.
On the fourth day students will be given different color swatches in order to be able to change one color to another quickly and confidently.
