About my new course:
The Art and Practice of Color is a 9 hours Video Course focused on Color Theory and its Applications for painters. For oil, acrylic or gouache, it covers all the artistic dimensions of color : color wheels, pigments, palette, mixing strategies, color composition and harmony etc.

WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
-Beginners, intermediate or advanced painters.
-Hobbyists looking for a new approach to color and harmony.
-Atelier students looking for a coherent color system with a strong focus on pigments and painting techniques.
-Painters working primarily with oil, acrylic, gouache, casein* etc.
* The course doesn’t focus on specific details about each medium, all the demonstrations are made with oil paint, but the knowledge is transposable to all opaque painting techniques.

TOTAL TIME : 9 hours 21 min

Part 1 : Color Theory – This part is dedicated to color theory, in so far as it applies to painting. This part makes complex knowledge easy to understand. Florent reviews the most prevalent color systems for artists, their advantages and disadvantages and explains how he came up with his own model, specifically designed for painters.

Part 2 : Paint and Pigments – Because color can’t be conceived as an abstract notion, this part reviews 70 of the most frequently used pigments. It covers their properties and discusses how to use them practically. This part will give you all the knowledge you need to become a master of your palette and explore the palettes of ten old masters.

Part 3 : Mixing Strategies – Discover how a coherent theory and accurate techniques can help you mix exactly the color you need. Understand how to use the properties of your pigments to play with colors like a musician plays with notes and chords. – Color Composition – Explore an innovative and practical compositional system to harmonize colors in your painting. Learn the fundamental principles of composition and analyze examples from the greatest masters of the past: Raphael, Titian, Dürer, Velazquez, Courbet, Degas and many more…

Part 4 – Demonstration #1 : How to Paint Realistic Colors ? With a 2 hour still life demonstration, this part explains how to use color theory to paint realistically and get perfectly accurate colors. If your goal is to paint realistically, this demonstration will give you a structured method to reach it by understanding how color interacts with surfaces and textures.

Part 5 – Demonstration #2 : How to transform colors to fit in the composition of your choice? In this second demonstration, a simple landscape is transformed to create a unique chromatic atmosphere. Color theory isn’t just about realism but also about allowing the artist’s fantasy to express itself through color. This part will also cover some key elements of landscape painting like atmospheric colors, aerial perspective, reflections and refraction, vegetation etc.

Part 6 – Demonstration #3 : How to turn a simple black and white drawing into a painting using only theory and imagination? In this final and last demonstration, we start with a charcoal drawing and put color theory to the ultimate test : can it assist to create colors from imagination? With this 2 hour nightscape portrait, you will see how to paint human colors and how to articulate color and light to paint breathtaking atmospheric scenes.

FAQ
Y a-t-il une version française ? (Is there a french version ?)
Pas pour le moment, il n’y a pas encore de version française;

Is there going to be a DVD ?
No, there won’t be any DVD version of this program. This reduces cost and makes the entire program more affordable than it would be if the production and shipping costs of physical copies had to be included.
