5 Week Course: Light and Color Design in Painting 光影與色彩繪畫課程 (Oct 24 - Nov 21, 2026)

(Scroll down for english description)

課程簡介

這是一個為期 5 週、由水彩藝術家 RAINB.W（Rainbow）親自授課的光影與色彩繪畫實體課程。本課程適合有興趣提升繪畫中光與色彩運用技巧的中級畫家。

課程介紹：

光線與色彩是我們身為畫家所擁有的兩大最強大工具。許多學生雖然能清晰地想像出自己想要營造的情緒、感受與氛圍，卻在實際將其呈現在紙上時感到棘手。常見的挫折感是：「我知道自己想要什麼，但無論怎麼嘗試修正，就是無法把色彩和光線處理得恰到好處。」

本課程正是為彌補這項缺口而設計。我們將結合理論與實作，並特別著重於將光線與色彩應用於城市風景畫中。

在前三週，我們將仔細打下紮實的基礎：理解光線與明度、明度如何影響視覺結構與形體、顏色的明度、精準的調色技巧、辨識與理解光源，以及如何正確解讀參考照片中的光線。在第四週和第五週，我們將進入設計與意圖的階段。當您已紮實掌握準確的色彩、明度與光線後，我們將探索如何有意識地打破或變通規則——透過調整色彩、明度與光線，在畫作中營造特定的氛圍、感受、焦點或目的。我們也將探討實用的色彩理論、色彩和諧，以及如何運用有限的色盤進行創作。

光線與色彩設計是我構建畫作的基礎。我歷經多年的深思熟慮，才釐清自己所依賴的核心概念，我相信這些理念對渴望進步的學員將真正有所助益。本課程的目標並非要讓你「畫得像我一樣」，而是讓你獲得足夠深刻的理解，以便在發展個人風格的過程中，以自己的方式運用這些原則。

本課程將同時涵蓋水彩與水粉顏料的運用。雖然我主要以水彩創作，但某些概念透過水粉顏料來學習會更為清晰，因為水粉顏料能排除水彩所帶來的透明度這項額外複雜性。

課程日期與時間：

10月24日、31日，11月7日、14日、21日

每週六 下午2:15－4:30。（共5週）

第 1 週（10/24）：光與明度

第 2 週（10/31）：色彩中的明度

第 3 週（11/07）：解讀光源與色彩混合的精準度

第 4 週（11/14）：光與色的設計意圖（第一部分）

第 5 週（11/21）：光與色的設計意圖（第二部分）

地點：香港九龍長沙灣大南西街1008號華匯廣場8樓802 (荔枝角地鐵站 B1出口步行1分鐘)

語言：廣東話

本課程適合對象：具備一定繪畫經驗，並希望深化對光線與色彩理解及運用能力的中級畫家。若具備城市景觀繪畫經驗則更佳。由於本課程著重於色彩與光線理論，而非素描技巧，因此不會詳細講解城市景觀的素描方法、透視法或建築結構。若您已具備繪製城市景觀元素的基本能力，將能更專注於運用光線與色彩的概念。

課堂上我們將使用水彩和水粉顏料進行創作，但光影與色彩設計的原則同樣適用於使用水彩、水粉、壓克力、油畫或混合媒材等各種媒材的藝術家。

名額有限，先到先得。課程費用為固定金額，學員必須報名完整課程，缺課恕不提供學分或補課。請至 www.rainbw.art/class 報名

您將在付款後 24 至 48 小時內收到 Rainbow 寄發的確認電子郵件。課程費用恕不退還。如有任何疑問，請寄電子郵件至 hello@rainbw.art 與我聯繫。

為什麼這個課程著重於光線與色彩設計？

我認為大多數畫家並不缺乏創造力或視野——我們通常都能在腦海中描繪出想要傳達的情感或氛圍。真正的難處在於觀察、分析並精準呈現光線、明度與色彩的基礎技巧。若缺乏這些技巧，便很難將腦中的想像轉化為紙上的作品。本課程首先著重於建立這方面的技術理解，以便日後你能帶著明確的意圖，有意識地設計與調整光線與色彩。這些原則對於藝術家發展的每個階段都大有裨益。

本課程以何種語言授課？

本課程將以廣東話授課。

這個課程適合初學者嗎？

本課程專為已有一定繪畫經驗、並希望深化對光線與色彩的理解與運用之中級畫家所設計。對於繪畫完全初學者而言，課程的進度與內容可能會較為具挑戰性，因為我們會相對迅速地進入光線分析、明度關係以及有意識的設計選擇等主題。

課堂上我們將使用水彩和水粉顏料進行創作，但光線與色彩設計的原則同樣適用於使用水彩、水粉、壓克力、油畫或混合媒材的藝術家。

若具備城市景觀繪畫經驗則更佳。由於本課程著重於色彩與光線理論，而非素描，因此不會深入探討城市景觀的素描技巧、透視法或建築結構。若您已具備描繪城市景觀元素的基本能力，便能將更多注意力放在光線與色彩概念的應用上。

若您仍在建立水彩基礎控制與用水技巧，建議您先修習我的水彩基礎與控水技巧課程。

我需要準備哪些繪畫材料？

所有繪畫材料都會在課堂上提供給您使用。如果您想在家多加練習，則需要自行購買居家使用的工具。Rainbow 將在開課第一天提供一份推薦工具清單給您。

這與您其他課程有何不同？

我的課程會根據您在繪畫旅程中的不同階段，提供相應的教學目標：

一日工作坊是重點明確、實務導向的課程。課程以直截了當的逐步教學方式，引導您完成一幅特定的城市風景畫。您只需跟著教學步驟，便能在一天內完成一幅成品。這類課程非常適合讓您體驗我的創作流程，並在短時間內完成一幅完整的作品。

為期 5 週的「水彩基礎與水控」課程專為初學者（以及希望鞏固基礎的學員）設計。課程採用緩慢而詳盡的教學方式，從材料與工具開始，接著透過針對性的練習與演練，逐步建立水控、筆觸掌控及直覺感知等核心技能。最後，我們將把這些基礎應用於三幅完整的城市風景畫創作中。課程重點在於掌握水與畫筆的行為特性。

這個為期5週的「光影與色彩繪畫」課程適合中級畫家。課程著重於更刻意地理解與運用光線、明度及色彩。前三週我們將建立清晰的色彩與光線觀察基礎，並學習精準調色；最後兩週則探索設計與意圖——如何調整光線與色彩以營造特定的情緒、氛圍或焦點。課程將同時運用水彩與水粉顏料，並將這些概念應用於城市風光畫創作（建議具備基礎素描能力，因本課程不會詳細講解透視法或建築結構）。

名額有限，先到先得。課程費用為固定金額，學員必須報名完整課程，缺課恕不提供學分或補課。

您將在購買後 24 至 48 小時內收到 Rainbow 寄發的確認電子郵件。課程費用恕不退還。如有任何疑問，請寄電子郵件至 hello@rainbw.art 與我聯繫。

5 Week Course: Light and Color Design in Painting 光影與色彩繪畫課程 (Oct 24 - Nov 21, 2026)

Course description:
This is a 5-week in-person course on light and color design taught by watercolor artist RAINB.W (Rainbow). This course is suitable for intermediate painters who are interested in improving their use of light and color in painting. 

Class introduction:

Light and color are two of the most powerful tools we have as painters. Many students can clearly imagine the mood, feeling, and atmosphere they want to create, yet struggle when it comes to actually putting it on paper. The common frustration is: “I know what I want, but I just can’t get the colors and lighting right, no matter how much I try to fix it.”

This course is designed to address that exact gap. We will combine theory and practice, with a specific focus on applying light and color to cityscape painting.

In the first three weeks, we will carefully build a strong foundation: understanding light and value, how value affects visual structure and shapes, the value of colors, accurate color mixing, identifying and understanding light sources, and how to properly read light in reference photos.

In Weeks 4 and 5, we move into design and intention. Once you have a solid grasp of accurate color, value, and lighting, we will explore how to intentionally break or bend the rules — adjusting color, value, and light to create a specific mood, feeling, focus, or purpose in your painting. We will also cover practical color theory, color harmony, and working with a limited palette.

Light and color design is foundational to how I build my own paintings. It has taken years of thoughtful reflection to clarify the core concepts I rely on, and I believe these ideas will be genuinely helpful for others who want to improve. The goal of this course is not to help you “paint like me,” but to give you a deep enough understanding so you can apply these principles in your own way as you develop your personal style.

This course will include the use of both watercolor and gouache. Although I am primarily a watercolor painter, some concepts are more clearly learned with gouache because it removes the added complexity of transparency that watercolor brings.

Course Date and time:

October 24, 31, November 7, 14, 21

Saturdays 2:15- 4:30pm. (5 weeks in total)

Week 1 (10/24): Light and Value
Week 2 (10/31): Value in Color
Week 3 (11/07): Reading Light Source & Color Mixing Accuracy
Week 4 (11/14): Light and Color Design Intention (Part 1)
Week 5 (11/21): Light and Color Design Intention (Part 2)

Location: Unit 802, 8/F, United China Plaza, 1008 Tai Nan West Street, Cheung Sha Wan, Kowloon. (1 min walk from Lai Chi Kok MTR exit B1) 香港九龍長沙灣大南西街1008號華匯廣場8樓802 (荔枝角地鐵站 B1出口步行1分鐘)

Language: Class will be taught in Cantonese. (If you are an English speaker, please let me know, I may open an English class if we have enough interest)

Who is this class for: Intermediate painters who already have some painting experience and want to strengthen their understanding and use of light and color. Some experience with cityscape painting is preferred. Because this course focuses on color and light theory rather than drawing, we will not go into detail on how to sketch cityscapes, perspective, or building structure. Having a basic ability to draw cityscape elements will allow you to put more attention on applying the light and color concepts. 

We will be working with watercolor and gouache in class, but the principles of light and color design are applicable to artists working in watercolor, gouache, acrylic, oil, or mixed media etc.

Limited spaces available, first come first served. Course fee is a flat rate, students must sign up for the full program, there is no credit or makeup for missed classes. Register at www.rainbw.art/class

You will receive an email confirmation from Rainbow within 24-48 hours of purchase. Class payment is nonrefundable. Please email me at hello@rainbw.art if you have any concerns.

Why is this class focused on light and color design?

I believe that most painters do not lack creativity or vision — we can usually picture the feeling or atmosphere we want. The real difficulty lies in the foundational skills of seeing, analyzing, and executing light, value, and color accurately. Without these skills, it becomes very hard to translate what we imagine onto the paper. This course focuses on building that technical understanding first, so that later you can deliberately design and adjust light and color with clear intention. These principles are useful at every stage of an artist’s development.

What language is this course conducted in?
This course will be taught in Cantonese. If you are an English speaker and interested in taking this course in person, please let me know. If there is enough interest, I will consider opening an English version in the future. Because this class involves a lot of explanation and discussion of concepts, running it bilingually at the same time would be more difficult than in my shorter one-day workshops.

Is this course suitable for beginners?

This course is designed for intermediate painters who already have some painting experience and want to strengthen their understanding and use of light and color. Absolute beginners in painting may find the pace and content more challenging, as we move relatively quickly into analyzing light, value relationships, and intentional design choices.

We will be working with watercolor and gouache in class, but the principles of light and color design are applicable to artists working in watercolor, gouache, acrylic, oil, or mixed media.

Some experience with cityscape painting is preferred. Because this course focuses on color and light theory rather than drawing, we will not go into detail on how to sketch cityscapes, perspective, or building structure. Having a basic ability to draw cityscape elements will allow you to put more attention on applying the light and color concepts.

If you are still building basic watercolor control and water handling skills, I recommend starting with my Watercolor Foundations and Water Control course first.

What painting materials do I need?
All painting materials will be provided for you to use during class in person. If you want to practice more at home, you will need to purchase your own tools for home use. Rainbow will give you a list of recommended tools on the first day of class.

How is this different from your other classes?

My classes serve different purposes depending on where you are in your painting journey:

• 1-day workshops are focused, practical sessions. They are straightforward step-by-step walkthroughs of a specific cityscape painting. You follow along and complete one finished piece in a single day. These are great for experiencing my process and painting a complete work in a short time.
• 5-week Watercolor Foundations and Water Control is designed for beginners (and those who want to strengthen their basics). It takes a slow, detailed approach, starting from materials and tools, then building essential skills in water control, brush handling, and intuition through targeted drills and exercises. We finish by applying these foundations to three full cityscape paintings. The emphasis is on mastering how water and the brush behave.
• This 5-week Light and Color Design course is for intermediate painters. It focuses on understanding and using light, value, and color more intentionally. In the first three weeks we build a clear foundation in seeing color and light, mixing color accurately. In the final two weeks we explore design and intention — how to adjust light and color to create a specific mood, atmosphere, or focus. We work with both watercolor and gouache, and apply the concepts to cityscapes (basic drawing ability is preferred, as we do not cover perspective or building structure in detail).

Limited spaces available, first come first served. Course fee is a flat rate, students must sign up for the full program, there is no credit or makeup for missed classes.
