Frank O'Cain Demo Color as Light 3 12 25

Frank O'Cain's demonstration at the Art Students League of NY on March 12, 2025 shows how color creates light using a variety of examples painted in acrylic.. The demo includes many ways of working from static to dynamic. As O'Cain reworks each example over the course of the video, he shows how even small changes in color can have an effect on the dynamics of the painting. Frank O'Cain is an important instructor at the Art Students League of New York, introducing generations of students to the basic principles of Abstract Painting developed by Cezanne and Hans Hofmann. Currently, he teaches both on-line and in studio classes. Recorded and edited by Stephen Durkee [Note: the more sensitive mic died during the recording. While the sound quality is adequate it is not up to my normal standards.]
