I'll be teaching a new virtual class all about COLOR using acrylics and there is still time to sign up!
Why the class - I see so many painters struggling with color mixing and end up with *mud or they are wanna be painters who are afraid to try as it seems overwhelming. Painters sometimes think they need a 100 different tubes of paint to get the colors they want when all thats needed are the correct primary colors to achieve almost any color. I will talk about and demo the primary colors used on my simple or limited palette. There are three primary colors, red, yellow and blue but if you check out the paints in an art supply store you will be overwhelmed by all the different reds, yellows and blues available. So how do you choose? Knowing what these commercial colors are all about will help you create your own palette and color harmony and save you money.
Besides color mixing the class will paint abstract backgrounds that will be completed using mixed media. Paint, watercolor paper, a brush along with some collage materials will be provided in the class cost. If you live out of town or state your supplies will be mailed to you but this is time sensitive as the class begins January 17, 2022. A list of other supplies you provide will be sent to you. If interested please hurry and sign up as we put the kits together for mailing soon. Follow the link below:

*Mud is a term I hear from frustrated painters disappointed with color mixing. Sometimes you need mud colors but mixing those colors when applicable is the goal.
