In week four, you’ll develop your understanding of color temperature by organizing warm and cool colors across value zones. Bill Perkins presents examples of both subtle and dramatic color temperature lighting, including setups with opposing light sources. You’ll paint quick studies that isolate temperature variation within light and shadow families, clothing, background, and skin. These exercises will help you develop control over subtle temperature shifts and clarify form without relying on detailed rendering.

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