In this lecture, we’ll explore the great divide between disegno and colorito, two stylistic lineages within classical painting that shaped how artists worked, depending on what they valued most. By comparing Old Masters who lived in the same era but embraced opposing methods, we’ll uncover how different creative priorities gave rise to distinct techniques in some of history’s most iconic masterpieces.
This is an exciting opportunity to sharpen your eye for brushwork, paint handling, and design, and to reflect on your own creative instincts. Once you start seeing these stylistic traits clearly, you’ll gain powerful insights into what makes your favorite artists so compelling, and what you might be reaching for in your own work.
This lecture is attached to two collections: The Power of Line and Tone, where we teach disegno ink technique, and Mark by Mark, where I teach colorito ink technique.
