Description

Through demos, practical exercises, and one-on-one feedback, we will explore basic concepts of color theory and color mixing, tonal composition, and visual memory. We will apply these skills to a variety of subjects including landscape, still life, and figurative subjects, working from both observation and photo references. You will learn how to choose, experiment with, and mix your own color palette—understanding how to apply color theory to  your practice .

Skills gained through this class will support your own personal work and practice, including developing your color perception and visual compositions.
