Dive into the world of color with Todd Casey, artist and author of The Oil Painter’s Color Handbook. Drawing from his book, Casey discusses everything an oil painter needs to know about color—from its usage throughout art history, to how to master its many properties to bring a painting to life.
The Oil Painter’s Color Handbook is a master class in a book, offering a comprehensive, contemporary, and accessible foundation of color theory and advanced techniques every oil painter at every skill level needs in their toolbox. The book breaks down the process of understanding color into easily digestible lessons—each richly illustrated with both historic and contemporary examples—so that readers can layer more complex ideas as each skill is mastered. Through clear instruction, step-by-step demonstrations, and challenging exercises, readers will learn to apply these techniques and concepts to their own painting.
The talk will be followed by a Q&A.
Todd M. Casey was born and raised in Lowell, Massachusetts. His artistic education includes studying with both Jacob Collins and Max Ginsburg. Drawing inspiration from classical art, literature, and personal experience, Casey imbues each piece with a love of both pragmatic, corporeal form, and storied, intentional function. That is to say, every painting has a tale to tell, whether emergent from the viewer’s own perception, or brewed from the very deep well of introspective thought. His work can be found in collections throughout the United States, and exclusively at Rehs Contemporary Gallery, in Midtown New York City.
