Creating Colour 4: "Dynamic Colour in Digital Art" with Steve Forster, February 17, 2024

In this webinar Steve Forster gives us a taste of his digital creative process, in particular the way he approaches and creates diversity in colours and colour palettes. Starting with a brief overview of differences - and similarities - between the digital and traditional painting processes, he shows how he structures digital palettes when painting portraits, landscapes and more abstract themes. This is followed by a “wild colour” illustration where, building on a value structure (in the sense of Munsell), he goes on to use the full range of colour expression that digital tools provide.
Steve Forster was born in Boston but spent most of his life in central Florida. He was educated at the Florence Academy of Art in Italy and the New York Academy of Art, where he received his MFA in 2010. Since then he has exhibited and taught extensively, both in the US and internationally. He is currently Co-Director of the Long Island Academy of Fine Art where he teaches in person and online, and he has previously taught painting at the New York Academy of Art.
Steve’s paintings have been exhibited in solo and group shows nationally and internationally and he is currently represented by Island Weiss Gallery in NYC and Grenning Gallery in Sag Harbor. You can see more of Steve's work on his website and Instagram page.

There is a lot to digest here. I am not into digital painting and would never consider switching over to it from oil, BUT Steve’s idea of using digital painting as a sketchbook to experiment with intrigues me. Never thought of using my Ipad as a sketchbook and yet here is a way to practice painting anywhere I go without having to carry oil paint, brushes, canvas, easel, etc. A convenient and very portable way of practicing painting and drawing skills - I should have done this a long time ago.
