Color Harmony in Tonal Painting

Tonal painting is the creation of form and dimension by modulating value of color from light mass to shadow mass. Color harmony is created through an understanding of temperature shift from light to dark.
 
Working from the still life, this oil painting workshop relates the concepts of tone, temperature, and key.Students will be instructed how to mix oil color, organize their palette mixtures, and maintain color harmony, while painting wet-into-wet. Please make sure to bring a large palette and a high-quality mixing knife. Mornings will include lecture and demonstration, with afternoons devoted to painting and individual instruction.
 
All levels are welcome, some experience drawing and painting from observation is recommended.

Alla Prima Oil Painting Techniques (Online)

We will be exploring various oil painting mediums and how they affect paint handling.

Put on your lab coat and join me for some experiments!

En Plein Air Painting
IN PERSON!
En Plein Air with Christine Lafuente
Experience the magic of Mount Desert Island as you paint En Plein Air. A basic review of outdoor set-up, palette organization, composition, and atmospheric color theory will be covered; however, most of the time spent together will be “hands-on” in the field with individual instruction at four select locations on the Island’s beautiful coves and shores.   

The half-day sessions provide you the opportunity to work in the mornings with the instructor, leaving you the afternoons to continue to work independently and process the day’s lesson. Pack a lunch and paint all day!
