Colorimetry: the color theory necessary for visual artists and makeup artists

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 35 € /h

Colorimetry is a fundamental tool to begin to understand the behavior of colors, where they come from, and how to obtain them.

We will see the color wheel, primary and secondary colors, and how to apply them to create different types of palettes. In turn, we will see the triads of colors to generate cold and warm palettes, and you will experience first-hand how to create those colors.

We will also have a brief part of research into pigments (the source of color) and works of art throughout history, to see the use of different painting techniques.

Since we are going to focus in our classes on color theory, it is not strictly necessary that you know how to draw or paint, or that you have knowledge of perspective or others.

This course is designed to complement your knowledge of art and improve your ability to choose the colors and palette you want to work with.

As a bonus, this course will also help you apply your knowledge when applying makeup or applying makeup, since if it is something that interests you, let me know and we will incorporate it into the course. We will see how to apply colors according to the person's eye color and skin tones.

I have a degree in Visual Arts with a Painting orientation from the National University of the Arts of Argentina and a theatrical makeup artist at the Theater Complex of the City of Buenos Aires and I am happy to be able to share my knowledge with you.

If this is what you were looking for, welcome and I hope we start a very nice working relationship!

See you in class,
Camila.

Extra information

About Me

My likes are very varied, but in general I like everything related to art, both visual and audiovisual, and languages.
My classes are dynamic, if it's English, I like to spend half of the class talking and then see some theoretical issues or do exercises.
If they are colorimetry classes, we see the theory and we create examples; in all cases, what I always do and I find very useful, is that the student can tell me with his/her words what he/she understood from the lesson, and generate a flow of communication in that way.

Art history for beginners

35 € /h

The history of art is vast and wonderful. By studying it, we not only learn techniques, but we also discover the richness of the different cultures that exist in the world.
Our differences are reflected in the beliefs that give rise to our works, and in the techniques developed thanks to the ingredients from each area.
From cave paintings to contemporary art, we will see the history of humanity captured in pieces that defy the passage of time.
This course is ideal for:
- Students of artistic careers (I have a degree in visual arts).
- Students who need school support.
- Fans who love our history.

Egg tempera is one of the most ancient historical art painting technique. It preserved as a main technique to paint orthodox religious icons. It is possible to learn it and paint your own icon. I have 12 years of practice teaching people how to do it. We work together step by step to understand the technique, the way to prepare wooden panel to paint an icon and the techniques of making a good project to make the icon fit to the board. We also learn how to make gold leaf layer on the halos. Your icon will be a real, crafted icon.

I have completed both Under-graduation and Post-graduation in Fine Arts and PG diploma in Pre&Primary teachers training. My careful preparation of lesson plans allowed me to break down complicated concepts to simple examples that the adult and young students could grasp, which was rewarding for both my students and for me. I always give my best by managing the difference of abilities among my students and tailoring the activities to maintain the interest level of students without any intimidation.

Get ready for creativity, giggles, and a whole lot of colorful mess! I’m starting a super fun arts & crafts class just for kids where imagination runs wild and every project feels like an adventure. We’ll paint, glue, cut, sprinkle glitter, and turn everyday ideas into awesome creations kids will be excited to show off.

This class is all about exploring, trying new things, building confidence, and having FUN while we create. No pressure to be “perfect,” just a welcoming space where little artists can express themselves, make friends, and leave with big smiles (and maybe a little paint on their sleeves 🤭).

I am calm and patient and help you to focus on foundational skills, including reading a simple pattern, identifying stitch types, joining new yarn, and finishing techniques. Focus can be basic stitches like chain stitch, single and double crochet, joining in new yarn, good tension and even edges.
