How to Enhance a Painting Using Color Temperature

How to Enhance a Painting Using Color Temperature.

Last week I drew a cityscape of Montreal, Canada and simplified it into masses of light and dark.

One viewer asked, "Could you paint that?"

Another viewer asked, "Could you explain warm and cool temperature?"

This week, I address both of those questions. I take the same cityscape scene and paint it to add color, primarily color temperature. Those masses from last week's cityscape are now painted with two tools: Light and dark, and warm and cool.

Remember: Value does the work. Color gets the attention. Simplifying the scene into light and dark masses made the shift to color, and the shift to warm and cool masses, much easier.

There is a second video, about 13 minutes long, of my painting the cityscape here:   • Demonstration Video for Color Temperature
