Monochromatic paintings are a very useful tool for learning just how far you can go with an individual color, both its versatility and its limits. Using Pigment Sticks, you will explore different ways of handling the paint to bring out different aspects of that color.
It can stop there or go on. Seeing the limits of a color can lead to a methodical choice of a second color to expand those limits. And that leads to the methodical choice of a third color, and so on in the building of the harmonic (or dissonant) color structure of a painting. Emphasis will be on turning the ideas developed through color charts and the different ways of categorizing colors into paintings.
