I first came across this approach in Arthur Stern's book "How to See Color and Paint it". http://www.amazon.ca/How-See-Color-Paint-It/dp/0823024687<br /><br />In regards to air travel how much of your kit/pochade are you able to carry onto the plane (various tube colours, pan warercolours, water brushes, inks, etc.) and what goes in with your checked-in luggage? Do you print out safety sheets for the colours?

I taught that course for two decades until I recently became a full-time artist again. When I taught color theory I had students do two opposing assignments– just as they had learned through 3 short, early monochromatic assignments of the significant oppositions of contour and gesture line, 2D shape and 3D form (picture plane and ground plane, composition and perspective and sighting in both) - they needed to learn low chroma and high chroma too. One assignment was to use only two complementary oil colors and white to create the painting. These are the nameless colors of realism, mood, and distance I told them. They spent time mixing with their palette knife, making colors they had never seen before. Wonderful paintings. They also did the opposite, pushing themselves to use intense colors they would not usually use, and seeing how colors pushed each other. This was a beginning.... If you don't push students they will find a middle path to harmonious, boring, useless work. I used your book on color and light as a reference. Thank you for your thorough, thoughtful explanations.
