It seems most painting students biggest issue is mixing colors. so I have decided to offer this class in learning how to mix color. We will get down to the basics. We will demystify the process of mixing colors, through discussions, color charts, and painting. We will touch on color theory, lightening and darkening colors effectively, maintaining temperature and saturation while changing values. We will learn the beauty of neutrals and mostly how to make color work for you. This 8 week class is being run at Mispillion Art League. It runs on Thursdays from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm
