Discover Art Renewal Center (ARC) Living Artist John Pototschnik’s “Hidden” Secret That Enhances the Colors and Mood of Any Painting!
Internationally renowned artist John Pototschnik is going to share with you how to enhance the mood of any of your paintings with one simple shift that most artists get wrong.
It’s the “Monochromatic Secret” to emotionally moving, soul-stirring paintings.
Inside Painting Values & Color, John Pototschnik will uncover the seemingly “backward” approach that many artists overlook: It’s not just about color, it’s about value.

In this enlightening course, John is going to guide you through the process of creating a monochromatic value underpainting using acrylics (though you can use oil if you prefer). He’ll show you how to establish the mood through value alone, and then how to enhance the mood even further using color.
