Understanding and Exploring Color

Gain a deeper understanding of how to mix colors and how color behaves in a painting. In this fast, fun class we will create color mixtures from a basic palette and use them to create both a journal page and an abstract painting. Students will leave with practical information and an original artwork. This class is suitable for all experience levels, and the information applies to all paint media- acrylic, oil and watercolor.

Class minimum: 4

Class maximum: 10
