Ever wondered how to maximize color in your compositions for maximum impact and harmony? In this three-day workshop, learn how to effectively handle the qualities of color within your medium. We will study ideas related to hue, saturation, value, temperature, strength, placement, and shape.
Opaque water-based paints will be used to create small non-representational exercises and studies as we learn about color balance and placement. Not just for painters, this workshop will reveal secrets about color that are applicable to a wide range of color applications and mediums.
