Do you love color, but struggle with it? Do you mix mud too many times? Do you run out of color and when you mix again, it’s not the same as what you started with?
In this roll-up-your-sleeves workshop, we won’t make finished paintings, but we will explore color and how to put your new knowledge to good use. From basics of the color wheel to transparency and opaqueness, from tinting strength of colors to three ways to create color harmony, you will walk away from this workshop with color confidence and practical ways to fix paintings with color problems. You will discover how color temperature plays a significant role in color mixing and how successful color hierarchy can be implemented to create paintings that connect with non-artist viewers.
