Refer to DI-1 Understanding Color, for more information on these exercises. The Old Masters used a few transparent colors to achieve richness and depth by glazing luminous dark areas. White makes any mixture opaque, so with white added to the palette, you can double the number of colors you can make from the three primaries. Try three primary colors (different from the ones used in this video) on your limited palette and see how the change in palette offers new color ranges without sacrificing the unity of a color scheme.

You learn how to sequence your drawing for the best chance of success, where to look for the brightest lights, anticipate soft and hard edges, and how to take advantage of reflected light and bounced color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs head of the Fine Art Painting Department of the Academy of Art College in San Francisco, Craig Nelson helps you hone your observation skills and bring what you see back to your drawing (or painting). Craig's drawings come to life in a matter of minutes. (Craig works from photographs) Craig Nelson, CAC, discusses and demonstrates lighting, preparing the painting surface, developing a ghost drawing to a final drawing, color selections, blocking in skin tones and hair, subtle adjustments to achieve life-like flesh, when not to refine your strokes, delicate brush work for successful hair plus much more. Craig talks about all his decisions as he paints. You will learn where to look for details, touches of strong color and value that add energy to your portrait. Craig's Quick Study approach helps you gain confidence to paint larger, more refined portraits after many of the basic issues are resolved in the quick studies format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWith over 30 years experience as a professor of fine art, Craig Nelson knows that success as an artist depends on good observation skills learned while drawing. In this workshop, Craig introduces you to pastel drawing as he develops two figures from photo reference. You'll learn to layer rich oil pastels over pencil sketches, and you'll discover lighting and design principles that apply to all media.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCraig works with a staggering array of drawing tools, including hard and soft pastels, black and white charcoal pencils, and conte crayons. He combines these materials one layer at a time, beginning with a light charcoal sketch. You'll see Craig's steady hand up close as he adds lines, value, and color in the appropriate order. No detail escapes Craig's analytical eye.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHe treats pastel as a layered medium, continually refining each element and hue as he builds his sketch. He blends colors to eliminate flat, even shapes and juxtaposes hues to emphasize key elements without adding harsh shadows. In his sketch of a vineyard worker, Craig shares his method for establishing light sources with varied hues. He distinguishes cool top light from the warm shadows by adding pale blue highlights and streaks of earthy reds.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn the second half of the workshop, Craig emphasizes drawing as an observational, rather than technical, skill. As he sketches the outline of a girl at the beach, he teaches you to draw what you see, instead of relying on memory or subjective perception. You learn to see gesture, perspective, and light sources and take the time to consider your reference before you put your pencil to the paper.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe second drawing also serves as a clinic on value. Craig works on a neutral Canson paper with black and white tools. He layers chalk, white charcoal, and conte crayon to create subtle gradations in highlights. The resulting volume in the dress and hair make the sketch jump from the paper.

Once he realized that the whole world was only a plane trip away, David embarked on longer reference gathering trips to places such as Kenya, Tanzania, Nepal, India, Brazil, Panama, and Costa Rica, as well as through most of the U.S.A. and Alaska. In the meantime, David taught himself to draw and paint, experimenting with a variety of media and techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBecause of his love of wildlife, David had initially geared his education towards becoming a veterinarian, believing that art could only be treated as a hobby. Still, while growing up, David received support and encouragement from his mother, who sometimes allowed him to stay up late on school nights so he could finish a drawing. David still vividly remembers one of the last things his mother ever said to him: \"Don't let anyone ever tell you that you are not an artist. \"Unfortunately soon after, at the age of 17, David lost that source of support in a tragic manner, when David's mother was killed by his father. This terrible event impacted David's life, and that of his four younger siblings, in immeasurable ways. Introduced abruptly into the adult world, David had to find ways to support himself and secure his future, so he gave up his dream of attending university, and started work at a local factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSoon, however, David's sketches and paintings, which he continued to work on whenever he had a free moment, began to garner attention, opening a door to a world he had not known existed.

In this workshop, Craig introduces you to pastel drawing as he develops two figures from photo reference. You'll learn to layer rich oil pastels over pencil sketches, and you'll discover lighting and design principles that apply to all media.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCraig works with a staggering array of drawing tools, including hard and soft pastels, black and white charcoal pencils, and conte crayons. He combines these materials one layer at a time, beginning with a light charcoal sketch. You'll see Craig's steady hand up close as he adds lines, value, and color in the appropriate order. No detail escapes Craig's analytical eye.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe treats pastel as a layered medium, continually refining each element and hue as he builds his sketch. He blends colors to eliminate flat, even shapes and juxtaposes hues to emphasize key elements without adding harsh shadows. In his sketch of a vineyard worker, Craig shares his method for establishing light sources with varied hues. He distinguishes cool top light from the warm shadows by adding pale blue highlights and streaks of earthy reds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the second half of the workshop, Craig emphasizes drawing as an observational, rather than technical, skill. As he sketches the outline of a girl at the beach, he teaches you to draw what you see, instead of relying on memory or subjective perception. You learn to see gesture, perspective, and light sources and take the time to consider your reference before you put your pencil to the paper.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe second drawing also serves as a clinic on value. Craig works on a neutral Canson paper with black and white tools. He layers chalk, white charcoal, and conte crayon to create subtle gradations in highlights. The resulting volume in the dress and hair make the sketch jump from the paper.

You learn how to sequence your drawing for the best chance of success, where to look for the brightest lights, anticipate soft and hard edges, and how to take advantage of reflected light and bounced color.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs head of the Fine Art Painting Department of the Academy of Art College in San Francisco, Craig Nelson helps you hone your observation skills and bring what you see back to your drawing (or painting). Craig's drawings come to life in a matter of minutes. (Craig works from photographs) Craig Nelson, CAC, discusses and demonstrates lighting, preparing the painting surface, developing a ghost drawing to a final drawing, color selections, blocking in skin tones and hair, subtle adjustments to achieve life-like flesh, when not to refine your strokes, delicate brush work for successful hair plus much more. Craig talks about all his decisions as he paints. You will learn where to look for details, touches of strong color and value that add energy to your portrait.

As always, Janie demonstrates precision when coloring shadows. She layers complex darks and cuts away unwanted wax with an X-acto knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTurning to her subjects, Janie sketches indigo shadows then blends luscious colors to contour the fruit. She experiments with hue and takes the time to perfect her blends. The finished apples contain more than a dozen colors, each applied with Janie's careful design instincts and delicate touch. The subtle transitions on the apples' surface adds one of the most important elements of realism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJanie shows great care in all phases of drawing. Her artistic process is often painstaking, but her experience as a teacher makes her methods accessible. Her workshop presents the medium in a concise format, helping you to understand the necessary techniques and design principles while viewing the key moments in Janie's shading and coloring process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the time she returns to the background to darken the fabric and enhance edges in the straw mat, you'll understand the colored pencil process from initial design to final detail. To take on the challenge of realism with an exciting, non-traditional medium, join Janie Gildow in The Art of Colored Pencil: The Light Touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJanie covers a few basics then jumps into a project and teaches you her process from design to completion. Janie Gildow, CPSA, shows her photo selection process, cropping to improve composition, use of a modified grisaille approach to establish values and then demonstrates how she layers color, often using four or more colors in an area for richness. Janie Gildow uses the 'light touch' for flexibility and elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will learn pointers to improve your own technique as she shares her thoughts about the process. Your view is so close you will see when Janie's pencil point starts to dull! This workshop packs days of information into 90 minutes. A recent update from Janie on the pencils she uses: The name has been changed to Prismacolor Premiere \"soft core\" colored pencils--available in 132 colors. They're made by Sanford now (instead of Berol) but they're the same colors with the same numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBONUS CLIP: Tinting Darks in Colored Pencil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this clip from her video workshop, The Art of Colored Pencil: The Light Touch, Janie Gildow adds the first touches of color to the shadows in her still life composition.

His artistic gift was discovered by a fifth grade teacher and a creative explosion was sparked in the pre-teen. Robinson studied at the prestigious Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEarly in his development, Mario began looking to the great masters for inspiration and technical insight. An avid student of realism, he studied the elemental principles of painting by exploring the work and technique of Old Masters such as Rembrandt, Vermeer and Degas. However, it was the work of 19th and 20th century American artists that provided Robinson with the strongest stylistic foundation, helping him forge and define his own artistic sensibility.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe work of Mario Andres Robinson fits squarely within the tradition of American painting. Robinson's finished works bear a close affinity to the masters of the realist tradition, Andrew Wyeth and Thomas Eakins. Containing few references to modern life, Robinson's work has a timeless and universal quality, and exhibits a distinct turn-of-the-century stylistic aesthetic. The images he chooses, which refer to a bygone era where solitude and reflection were abundant, also provoke frequent allusions to the paintings of Winslow Homer and Edward Hopper.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBeginning in 1994, Robinson's work began to extensively incorporate rural subjects primarily located in the state of Alabama. Each subject is very personal for the artist in both selection and execution. As the work progresses, his relationship with the sitter develops and a uniquely personal story begins to evolve. Robinson frequently depicts subjects framed within the context of their daily lives. The underlying narrative counters sentimentality and serves as the underpinning for his figurative images.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMario Andres Robinson is an Exhibiting Artist Member (EAM) of The National Arts Club, an Artist Member of The Salmagundi Club and a Signature Member of The Pastel Society of America.
