Color Bootcamp

All levels welcome. 

Color is magic… until it’s mud. This workshop will introduce techniques to help you navigate color with expressive discipline. Guided exercises will include tinting and shading, value relationships, neutralizing with complementary colors, an earth palette, and two expanded palettes. In addition, we will work with classic Color Aid paper experiments to create optical chromatic illusions, deepening your understanding of the interactions of color. Ultimately you will have the chance to practice your color perception from observation. You’ll come away with useful color charts and a strengthened ability to navigate color in your own work, regardless of medium. Exercises will be done in gouache paint.
