UNDERSTANDING – COLOUR STRATEGIES & UNDERPAINTING
(Colour Strategies are – a pleasing arrangement of colours that harmonise together).
Underpainting serves a variety of different purposes, all of which can make the result more exciting and appealing, and if you’re painting a realist subject matter, it’s almost a must.
I will be using 4 – 6 Underpaintings with Landscapes to showcase this method.
I want you to experience the many strategies of colour, not by measuring how well it matches the original, but by experimenting with the use of Underpainting and that every painting presents a different challenge to solve. Using Underpainting can create works of art that truly stand out.
My intention is to introduce the following:-
- Understanding some Colour facts:-
- Monochromatic & Analogous are cohesive and unified harmonies.
- Where Complimentary, Split Complimentary and Triadic create harmonies that rely on difference, contrast and opposition.
- What Colour of Underpainting is right for your style & subject?
- What effect will the colour of your surface have on the finished painting?
- Warm & Cool Colour temperatures & intensity using limited Colour Strategies.
