Students will learn the historic Hawthorne/Hensche mud-head approach to studying color relationships as it applies to the outdoor portrait and figure (four models will be posing simultaneously) . Palette knives will be used to emphasis the importance of the relationships of the large areas of color (masses). Other topics of study will include setting up the action of the figure, relating the figure to the landscape, and the importance of color in aerial perspective.
