About this lesson
Renee Lammers explains the broken-color technique of applying unblended strokes so colors mix optically in the viewer's eye, covering wet-into-wet and scumbling application, frequent brush cleaning to keep colors pure, and working across multiple canvases outdoors to capture changing light.
