The Art of Color (In-Person)

1 Monday
10:00AM - 5:00PM
$155.00

Instructor: Jill Douglas

Believe it or not – “Researchers estimate that most humans can see around one million different colors. This is because a healthy human eye has three types of cone cells, each of which can register about 100 different color shades, amounting to around a million combinations.” (Pantone) This one-day workshop is designed for beginners through intermediate level artists interested in gaining a greater understanding of color by learning simple color mixing techniques and the key elements that go into making a great painting or artwork. This one-day course covers how to mix almost any hue and use color to create a balanced composition. There will be different exercises to choose from, or students may want to create their own artwork, or re-work an existing painting. Demonstrations will be done in acrylics. However, if students prefer they may bring pastels, colored pencils, or any other water-based medium.
