The Figure in Context: Painting with Chromatic Harmony
Kimberly Trowbridge
$372
In this 2-day workshop participants will engage in the process of building a chromatic composition that embeds the figure within a larger context of colored shapes. We will engage in the process of identifying color relationships based on Value, Temperature, and Intensity to create harmonic color mixtures as our primary building blocks
