Instructor: Dominique Medici
Theme: Indirect Painting & Nocturne Light
This month we’ll complete two paintings, each exploring a different approach to light and color.
In the first two weeks, we’ll work through an indirect painting process, beginning with a grisaille underpainting. From there, we’ll move into glazing and overpainting, learning how to build color gradually and work into wet glazes to create depth, subtlety, and atmosphere.
In the second half of the month, we’ll shift into a new painting focused on the nocturne figure. Here, we’ll explore how skin tones and values transform under evening light—learning to see color more relatively, simplify value relationships, and capture the quiet, unified mood of low-light conditions.
Throughout the month, the focus will be on developing sensitivity to value, color, and edge while working through two distinct but complementary painting approaches.
Open to all levels (basic drawing skills recommended). Anyone eager to learn and put in the practice is welcome. With a focus on accurate color mixing and creating likeness, you’ll develop your ability to paint what you see within a limited time frame, taking your skills to the next level.
