Assignment 4

Limited Color Palette Master Copy

Required Supplies:

  • Oil-primed linen canvas panel
  • Three color limited palette (colors should be selected to most closely resemble those in the master copy reference; typically a red, yellow, and blue)
  • Titanium White
  • Full range of brushes
  • Paint thinner (as needed)
  • Painting medium (as needed)

Utilizing the knowledge gained from the previous assignments from CPC101, review Concepts of Painting: Limited Palette, and then create a limited palette painting of a master copy. Work on a linen or prepared panel (determined by analyzing the substrate of the original painting), and choose a limited palette appropriate for the selected painting to be copied. Use a variety of brushes (determined by analyzing the original painting and comparing it  to your brushstroke chart) and make the paint application directly mimic the painting being copied. Those skilled in all concepts of drawing (shape, value, and edge) should feel free to opt for any subject; those who have not yet mastered drawing should limit subject to still life and landscape. The painting should be evaluated on the successful application of paint and correct mixing of color.
