Students will bring their own supplies

Creating harmony through color composition and randomness is the focus of this 3-day class. Color theory and practice are integral tools for any painter using one’s innate knowledge of color and applying the theory. In addition students will explore ways to use composition to expand the harmony of their work. Creating randomness can make painting fun and also make cohesiveness. This class is for advanced beginners.

Students will use their own photo references, preferably photos that they have personally taken. Bring lots to choose from.
