Let's go!
Santa Barbara Sunset
Join Dan Schultz and explore the subtleties of high key painting and master the art of capturing light and color. In this demo, inspired by a stunning sunset in Santa Barbara, Dan will share his unique approach to creating luminous effects, focusing on delicate color relationships. He will demonstrate how to achieve a harmonious composition by making the darkest value a middle tone. The session will start with a pink wash to establish a base for color harmony, which Dan will build upon with carefully layered colors to evoke the soft glow of a sunset. He will also emphasize the importance of thoughtful image cropping to guide the viewer's eye and enhance the composition. This demo is perfect for artists of all levels who want to deepen their understanding of high key painting techniques and learn from a master of the craft, offering an inspiring and educational experience.
