American artist, Hall Groat II, in his unique instructional DVD series demonstrates traditional oil painting color schemes and harmonies. In volume #5 he presents two hours of fully narrated demonstrations that introduce in great depth six unique color schemesand harmonies, including monochromatic, analogous, complementary,cool/warm, triadic and the tetrad harmony. In each of the demon-strations Hall paints a different California Bartlett pear and applies the six unique color schemes to six different pear paintings! He discusses the fundamentals of simple color harmonies, opposing color harmonies and classic balanced harmonies, and reveals the pros andcons of each! Each demonstration includes spectacular close-up shots of various colors being mixed together on the palette, and how the saturation and value of the colors are altered through both cool, achromatic neutrals and chromatic neutrals. Prior to each demonstration,Hall discusses how to specifically use the "color wheel" to plan out variations of each of the color harmonies. During the course of the demonstrations he references many of the basic concepts and techniques that were introduced within volumes #1-#3!

Greetings,
If you don't have a blogger account, and rather not set one up, just leave a comment without a name. I'm interested in hearing what you think about the work, in addition to the international sustainable movement.
Thanks,
Hall Groat II, American Artist
