Description

Are you using the full potential of color and light in your artwork?

You want to make your artwork more appealing and believable, but you are probably unsure where to start. There is so much information out there, which can be pretty overwhelming.

I know that feeling; I’ve been there myself.

That’s where this course, Storytelling with Color and Light, comes into place.

This course will teach you how to enhance your storytelling using color and light throughout your pieces. Removing the fear of the unknown will take the guesswork out, making you more confident in creating your art.

The results will be super awesome when you understand the concepts of color and light!

I want to help you get those results!

You have your own message and stories that people need to see, and my role with the course is to help you get them across.

What you will learn

The course breaks the big topic of color and light into smaller parts to help you understand the main concepts to make your artwork appealing and believable.

We will be looking at examples of different types of light sources from real life and how they affect objects we see around us (neutral diffused light on an overcast day, through popular sunlight, but also window light, electric light, and lights at night time or candlelight).

We will also analyze how the atmosphere influences the environment in landscapes and underwater.

You will learn how to make the audience focus on what is important in your artworks using color and light together with contrast and composition.

I will also show you how to quickly adjust the mood of your artwork within the same layout.

Who is it for?

The Storytelling with Color & Light course was designed for both digital and traditional artists with beginner and intermediate knowledge of the subject of color and light who want to understand what is needed to make their artworks more appealing and believable.

J'ai beaucoup aimé ce cours. Ne pas avoir de sous-titres même en anglais m'a mise à rude épreuve vu mon niveau d'anglais et j'ai au premier abord été un peu frustrée de ne pas avoir des exercices plus précis avec des exemples. Mais après avoir dépassé ces deux légers inconvénients, j'ai vraiment pris plaisir aux explications sur la lumière. Et mon regard sur tout ce qui tombe sous mes yeux a changé : je regarde chaque reflet, sa couleur, si les transitions sont douces ou nettes, si des couleurs se reflètent dans les ombres... J'espère que ça pourra améliorer mes peintures et je pense que je visionnerai de nouveau ce cours pour mieux retenir toutes les informations. Merci !

The instructor really knows the subject of color harmony, and how to apply it to paintings. Iva is very passionate about teaching and she has done a wonderful job explaining color concepts. I recommend this course for beginner artist who as well as seasoned artist that want a refresher in color theory.

I highly recommend this course. I usually rate only in the end but as this one still doesnt have too many ratings i decided to feedback now and update it latter if needed. Im still 50% in the course and what Ive learned so far was very worth of the investiment. The instructor is very clear with her ideas and her voice and pace help a lot to engage the course. Many things about variability of colors, emotions X color usage, color schemes and so many good tips about composition and focal points (chromatic and achromatic too). Can't wait to watch the other half and keep learning. CONGRATS IVA. I know this course will be a success!
