Modern Coloring Techniques and Visual Processing

This course offers an advanced, practice-based exploration of modern coloring techniques, focusing on layered chromatic structures, luminous effects, and contemporary visual strategies used in professional painting. Participants will examine how color interacts with light, texture, transparency, and surface behavior to create optical depth, rhythm, and dynamic visual fields. Through guided demonstrations, the course presents a scientific understanding of color behavior, including dispersion, glazing, modulation, and multi-layer construction.

In parallel, the program trains artists in applying modern acrylic methods, controlled transitions, chromatic harmonies, and experimental surface treatments. Emphasis is placed on developing a strong visual language, mastering color-based atmospheres, and integrating modern optical effects into mixed-media practices. By the end of the course, participants will gain a refined toolkit for producing contemporary, visually impactful artworks.

Course Objectives:

• Master transparent and opaque layering methods.

• Create controlled luminous and optical effects.

• Understand chromatic interactions and tonal systems.
