Description

Colour Theory and mixing from a simplified palette. Understanding the value of the Negative Space within the pictorial plane that constructs the pictorial image with Hillary Austin.

This class will focus on the negative space and image tension points to further understand the relationships of back ground mid ground and foreground. We will be closely observing where the position the image is taken from and it’s furthest (vanishing point) to gain a better understanding of special relationships inside the 2 Dimensional pictorial plane.

On this journey of gaining a greater understanding of how images and volume work inside a painted image we will be learning how to mix colour and understanding the notion of working from a refined simple palette and learning this is how to gain balance over the overall image.
