Robert Gamblin’s “Navigating Color Space”
Explore the fascinating world of colour with Robert Gamblin’s “Navigating Color Space,” a groundbreaking presentation featuring 3D computer animations that delve into the universe of colour. This multi-dimensional approach to colour mixing will transform your understanding of colour theory, offering insights into defining a colour’s attributes—its value, hue, and intensity (chroma). The program unveils the colour mixing techniques perfected by the Old Masters.
In colour theory, ‘value’ describes a colour’s lightness or darkness, ‘hue’ identifies its colour family, and ‘intensity’ measures its purity or chroma. As you journey through the Colour Space, you’ll learn how colours become more subdued as they approach the neutral core and how their value shifts along the spectrum.
Master the art of controlling light and shadow to create depth and dimension, a technique honed by Renaissance painters like Rembrandt. “Navigating Color Space” equips you for precise colour mixing by helping you understand the relationships between color attributes. Immerse yourself in the Gamblin Color Space and embark on an extraordinary journey through the realm of colour.
