During this two-day intermediate color class, students will learn how to skillfully mix oil paint through guided mixing exercises and discover how to better apply these ideas to their own paintings.We will work with a variety of palettes and explore how each one can influence color relationships and expression in a painting.
WHO IS THIS CLASS FOR: Any oil painter- intermediate to advanced- who would like to become more confident with color control and mixing and learn to use different palettes and approaches to color theory.
Through hands-on exercises, demos, and lectures, color will become easier to use, understand, and enjoy.
