No. 565 Cool Light, Warm Light workshop

 

 

Cool Light Study - Onion

Oil on Canvas

 

Inspired by the gorgeous paintings of my dear friend Janice Kirstein, I recently attend an excellent workshop on painting in cool light/warm light. The workshop was taught by the amazing duo of Janice and a her friend Pat Clayton. I came away with a much better understanding of this challenging subject. Also, I finally feel I can take this knowledge and successfully push the colors of my paintings if I want to.

I hope they teach this workshop again because I want to go back!
