Learn to use the full potential of color and light in your artworks!

Knowing how to use Color and Light in your artworks is one of the best skills to learn as an artist because it will help you take your artworks from good to great.

Communicate Your Stories and Emotions

I am excited to talk about Colors & Light today because I’d like to help you communicate your stories, and emotions with your audience.

Colors are definitely one of the main reasons I started to make art. They have been my passion ever since I remember. I was always mesmerized by how colors influence how we feel about art so I spent a lot of time learning about this topic and today I want to share this knowledge with you!

This class is for everyone who is curious about colors and want to enhance their artworks using color and light.

Removing the fear of the unknown, this class takes the guesswork out, so you can be more confident in creating your art and developing your own voice.

The class breaks the big topic of color and light into smaller parts to help you understand the main concepts so you can make your artworks appealing and believable.

What Students Say?

What You Will Learn

In this class, we will:

analyze paintings of old masters and look at how we can use this knowledge in developing our own
look at examples of different types of light sources from real life and how they affect the color of the objects we see around us, from neutral diffused light on an overcast day, through popular sunlight, and also window light, electric light, lights at night time and candlelight.
analyze the atmosphere and how it influences the color of the environment in landscapes and underwater

You will learn how to make the audience focus on what is important in your artworks using color & light together with the contrast and composition.

I will be sharing examples using the digital tools but you can also follow this class if you are a traditional artist. I will be focusing more on observation of the real world rather than the tools.

You can also download the linework with color palettes to practice the application of what you learn along the way.

This class will give you the confidence to share your unique experiences and stories with the world … so you can have a real effect on other people with the emotions in your art.

Let’s start creating those cool artworks filled with awesome color & light!
