You can have extraordinary color in your artwork. Learn basic color principles and characteristics of paint, including color mixing and compatible pigments, then develop your own basic palette. Classes may also deal with color schemes, color and light, color contrasts, expanded palettes and/or color design. Learn to use color inventively and expressively in your paintings. Work from your own sketches, setups and photos. Projects are based on Exploring Color and on the Nita Leland ™ Color Scheme Selector. Slide presentations and individual consultations are included. Bring one or two paintings for a helpful critique.
