Drawing with Color

DP1 Lesson 26: Rendering with Color

In this lesson, we advance in our study of color and its properties through more complex color mixing exercises. We complete mineralogical illustrations of semiprecious and precious stones for in-depth exploration of color rendering. In mixing colors and creating color palettes to match the natural world, we also have the opportunity to explore color harmony and how it is shaped by our unique perception. As inspiration, we view the work of abstract artists who employ color as a main vehicle to communicate meaning in their artwork.
