B1-Guiding the Eye with Temperature: Setting the Path

$7.00

SERIES TWO:  CREATING VISUAL PATHS–In painting, we create visual paths using movements and rhythms created by how we place images and elements of emphasis to create a direction for the eye to follow.

LESSON Two, PART One–Guiding the Eye with Temperature 1: Setting the Path

Using the color wheel, Dianne explains the four components of color, selecting temperature as the component with which to guide the eye in this study.  Using a river scene as model, she shows you how to organize the process.  In step 1, she shows how to select colors for the palette, then in step 2, she introduces the concept of Notan, guiding you through how to read the shadow areas to create a notan that defines the major path.  In step 3, she uses the notan for applying the cool and warm colors within areas in shadow and those not in shadow.  These three steps prepare the study for Part Two of the lesson on separate video.

A new video Tip will be available each week, so check back often to watch the collection build.
