Master temperature painting with warm-cool color methods that build form
How value structures form, why red-yellow-blue primaries create dimensional modeling, and how color behaves when building volume and depth. These fundamentals prepare you for part two's temperature painting technique, where warm and cool color relationships become your primary tool for creating light, atmosphere, and spatial depth.
The progression makes sense whether you're reassessing your color approach or learning these concepts fresh. Hanson's method treats temperature as a structural element rather than decorative choice, showing how warm-cool relationships can replace traditional value modeling in certain applications. Step-by-step demonstrations clarify each concept, while finished pieces from multiple artists show the technique's range across different subjects and styles.
Hanson draws from years teaching workshops and working on commission, translating practical studio knowledge into systematic instruction. The hardcover format withstands studio use, with 128 pages providing substantial content without overwhelming detail. This book works for painters ready to expand beyond conventional color mixing into a more nuanced understanding of how temperature relationships create convincing light and form.
