PeiGong’s Light and Color Speed Painting Training Camp is a 50-day group course that teaches how to paint convincing light and color quickly. It starts with the dichotomy principle: grouping a picture into simple light and shadow shapes, structural sketching, midlines, boundaries and how complex objects such as trees can be summarized. The lessons then work through one type of light at a time, from strong parallel sunlight and soft overcast light to reflected light, fill light, diffuse light and point light sources at night, always pairing the theory with a painted application. Later classes focus on tone, color matching and color composition in sunlit and overcast scenes, and finish with subjective color studies inspired by Studio Ghibli, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and European impasto painting. A review class follows each block of lessons, and the course files are included.
