Visual Storytelling: Light, Color And Space Online English Course – Frank Espinosa

Corso di
VISUAL STORYTELLING: BRUSH, LIGHT & SHADOW ONLINE – FRANK ESPINOSA (EN)

Experience how light and color work together to create atmosphere, depth, and visual rhythm within an illustration or sequential page. Through targeted studies and guided observation, you’ll learn how hue, value, and temperature interact to establish mood, clarify form, and support the emotional tone of a scene.

We’ll explore strategies for composing with intention—organizing shapes, contrasts, and spatial relationships to lead the viewer’s eye and strengthen narrative flow. By understanding how visual space can communicate story just as effectively as character or dialogue, you’ll gain tools to construct images that feel cohesive, expressive, and purposeful.
