LESSON NOTES

What's in Premium?

I will show you how to apply color temperature and lighting concepts to an actual painting. We start with a simple sphere and a monochromatic palette. You will learn how to use a single hue's full range of saturation to create believable warm and cool shifts. I walk you through laying in values, separating light from shadow, and building form with halftones, occlusion shadows, and reflected light. I also share practical digital painting techniques, like scumbling and using layer modes to adjust your color temperatures on the fly. By the end, you will know how to control mood in your work while keeping your values accurate.

Now that we understand color temperature, light, and shadow, let's apply this to painting using different palettes. We'll start with a simple sphere, using a monochromatic palette to explore warm and cool variations within a single hue.
