Color Study Still Life Workshop for Art Educators 2022

This workshop will focus on basic principles essential to creating a still life in full color. Inspired by the Impressionists use of color and developed by American artist Henry Hensche, “color study” is a method of studying color based on direct observation of color relationships and an awareness of how color is influenced by the light source. Students learn to evaluate color relationships by comparing the value, temperature and saturation of adjacent colors. Beginning with a series of painting exercises utilizing boxes and simple objects, students learn to see the impact of the light source, and its effect on local color. The concept of “color study” will be explored in depth using the Studio Incamminati full palette of oil paints. The instructor will demo and discuss each concept, followed by exercises where students put these concepts into practice. During the last two days, students will paint a longer still life using objects of their choice. This workshop is open to artists of all levels, not just teachers. Additional information and resources provided for educators will benefit all students.
