In week three, you’ll focus on integrating complementary colors to create visual tension, harmony, and balance. Bill Perkins explains how warm and cool complements influence one another while he guides you through a series of portraits that challenge you to push complementary contrasts across the figure, clothing, and background. You’ll learn to mix complements to harmonize and neutralize color mixtures and use complements to enhance form and spatial depth.

Throughout this course, you’ll have access to the NMA community for feedback and critiques to improve your work as you progress.
