Painting with Alan Reingold this semester--
It's a six hour painting class where we paint nude models and critique each others works.
Last week, Alan taught me how to mix and apply color. I wasn't happy at all with where I was going with my nude model painting... and I didn't know what I was doing wrong. Alan came over and started mixing dozens of colors (that I thought would never go together) and left me with a perfect mix of light and dark skin tone. It felt so inventive..yet the steps were so specific-- It was like cooking a tasty meal. The new color pallet changed the mood of my canvas and it made my painting come alive. It's definitely effecting my design work as well.
