The phrase, "If I could only get the right color . . . .", is heard over and over in the classes I teach. This is the chance for you to get the color you are looking for. My goal for this class is to take the fear out of mixing color, after all, isn't that why we become painters? We love color, paint and picture making. We will cover the phenomenon of color and how it relates to other colors. Students will learn techniques for mixing color to achieve desired results and how to use the palette as a tool rather than a hindrance. Hue, value, intensity and temperature are the vocabulary of pigments used to understand color. We will create space with color and learn the difference between opaque and translucent colors. In each class, students will be making color studies to build a notebook for future color references. Once a certain familiarity with color is established, students will paint a simple still life composed of one color to train the eye to perceive subtle differences of color. This will reinforce the concepts and techniques covered earlier in the class.

Oh how I wish I could've taken this class from you. The colors in your paintings are exquisite.
