In week 10, you will learn to utilize color in your compositions. Instructor Bill Perkins will show you how to make use of the color wheel, hue, saturation, and value. He will teach you how to decipher the outdoor color temperature, using a “skydome” diagram to understand the position of the sun. You will learn how to perceive color temperature, specifically the local and light colors.
Throughout this course, you’ll have access to the NMA community for feedback and critiques to improve your work as you progress.
