Class Outline

In each lesson, you'll create a portrait in gouache using a distinct color scheme:

Lesson 1: Analogous Color Scheme

Use three adjacent colors in the color wheel to push beyond monochromatic portraits and introduce more range and harmony.

Lesson 2: Complementary Color Scheme

Bring forth optical vibrations and contrast with a color scheme that makes use of two colors diametrically opposed to each other on the color wheel.

Lesson 3: Triadic Color Scheme

Use a technique called gamut masking—or color-wheel masking—to create a color scheme made up of three distinct colors on the color wheel.

Lesson 4: Zorn Color Scheme

Attributed to Swedish artist Anders Zorn, this palette consists of just four colors: yellow ochre, ivory black, cadmium red and titanium white.
