Painting with Color Confidence II





Color Confidence 2 -  Learn to control your neutrals
Callanwolde Art Center
Feb 22  Sat 10am - 3 pm 1 Day

Now that you have mastered pure color and are comfortable moving color from one hue to another, learn how to create and manipulate neutral colors. This class will focus on understanding the colors you have mixed on your palette, or store bought colors, and then how to get the most life out of your color  without making mud. This class is about really  seeing the colors before you and then using color theory to get the results you want on the canvas. The first half of the class will be demos and discussion, and then you will create a painting to practice your color confidence.  I will be teaching the class in oils, but you may use acrylics. Contact me with any questions. dawn@dawnart.com Bring a sack lunch and such.
