The poster study is a small oil sketch painted in flat patches of color. Its subject is the kind and amount of light in the space of the painting. This is the ‘poster’, also known as the key of the light. Practice of the poster study teaches the student how to see and mix color. This exercise demystifies the issue of color and gives the student practical understanding.
