Your Next Step: Mixing that Perfect Color
with Diane Kraudelt
May 7, 9:00-4:00, $65
In this class we will explore the world of mixing browns, purples, greens, oranges, black and others, and the uses of color mixing for landscapes, still life studies, and portraits. Too often artists use color straight out of a tube, perhaps mixed with a bit of white, and are usure of how to mix those greys and browns. Add interest, cohesiveness, and individuality to your painting by painting with the colors you create.
This class is for anyone who has painted in oils or acrylics before, from beginners on up.
