Making Color Sing - Fall Edition (In Person)

Mondays: Oct. 2nd-Oct 23rd 1:00-3:30pm

The leaves are changing and it’s time to head outdoors to capture the beauty of the season. Unleash the full potential of your color palette. Use less colors and create more dramatic and dynamic moody paintings. We will start with 6 basic colors then mix and mix and mix some more until we have multiple colors immersing from the page. Learn to expand your greens, browns and mouse colors. Learn to capture the viewer’s eye by kissing contrasts of light and dark edges.

4 weeks $110 - Taken the class before and want to do a drop-in session to refresh your skills.
