Diving into Color: In Depth Color Mixing with Acrylics 2025
Mondays, May 5 - 19, 2025 (4 weeks) 10:30am-12:30pm
$125 + $25 materials fee
Create a solid foundation for your art with an exploration of the inner workings of color.
MIX! Blend… POP, add depth and subtly to your artworks by working with the color wheel and exploring color interactions.
Learn techniques in color mixing, tints and shades, complementary colors and learn more about color interactions. This is a technical class approached with an attitude of freedom and experimentation. Color can lend feeling and vibrancy to your art and good use of color can distinguish a beginning artist from a master.
The beginning class will focus on the foundations of the color wheel and color mixing. The intermediate class will review the foundations and explore color relationships in a painter’s palette as well as the color interaction experiments of Josef Albers.
