All the Color in WhiteHow to Use White? A painting is a collection of colored shapes in relationship to each other, and a convincing painting balances all these relationships. Color is a perceptual event: a sensation, not a theory. White, as the brightest and highest value, is the master of all the other colors. How does a painter become a colorist? It is not about using bright colors but about handling nuances and seeing color relationships, especially in the use of whites. Those subtle color changes require heightened sensitivity to all aspects of color; value, harmony and complementary, along with careful observation and response, and understanding how color and light function in both human vision and in paint.Working from still-life we will develop a vocabulary for clearer color thinking, and skills in seeing and using the subtle color changes in white.
