Barnstone Studios Announces New Live, Online Fletcher Color Control Course via Terracotta
The Forgotten Secrets of Color Control: Fletcher Color Wheel Introduction
THURMONT, Md. , June 20, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Barnstone Studios today announced their new live, online course, the Forgotten Secrets of Color Control: Fletcher Color Wheel Introduction, delivered via the groundbreaking online art education platform, Terracotta (http://www.goterracotta.org).
This newest offering of the Barnstone Method foundational courses addresses head-on the challenges of choosing the right palette and mixing colors, delving into the Fletcher color control approach, which was both widely used and taught in the 1800s and early 1900s, but fell out of use for decades. Master artist Myron Barnstone rediscovered these techniques of using a deftly crafted palette to:
- pinpoint the exact colors desired
- be able to match and replicate these colors with precision
- ensure all colors harmonize across the entire created work
The Fletcher Color system, taught by Barnstone Master Guide Sarah Gayle, demonstrates the practical application of using a limited palette that is also surprisingly flexible and unrestricted. Using this varied triad approach affords:
- boundaries for color selection and use
- a visual diagram for clarity and repeatable results
- an excellent, high quality color palette
- colors that always harmonize and do not conflict
"Myron always said: learn to mix your paint slowly, so you can paint fast," says instructor Sarah Gayle. "The Barnstone approach to mastering color control using the Fletcher system is precise and elegant: likened to the precision of creating music, this structured approach to creating your color palette acts as a way for artists to tune their instrument of color in creating their artistic composition. It is a color system that is useful to representational and abstract painters alike."
