Real Color in Practice
Usually color is taught as “Color Theory” which involves tediously painting in hundreds of little squares or placing pre-colored papers next to each other. After doing these exercises you still don’t know what to do in your real life painting. This workshop is focused on actually using color on your painting and understanding how it works in a way you can use right away. First we will understand how to create and see color using a limited palette which will teach you how to mix and see subtle colors much more effectively. Then, studying particular masters, we will unlock the color harmony in their work so that you can reproduce it in a work of your own. In the end you will have at least two paintings to take home that you can use to find your own individual palette. We will be using oil paint and canvas which is provided for you, please bring your own brushes and palette knives if you have them. ALL SUPPLIES INCLUDED.

Figure in Proportion: the Intuitive Approach
Many people think that if they can’t draw in proportion they are “not talented” and have no business doing art. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you are not suited to careful measuring and painstaking draftsmanship you are not alone. This has nothing to do with whether or not you are “talented” or whether or not you should try making art. This workshop will teach even the most drafting averse person how to get proportion without sacrificing the real value of the artwork, which is to learn to be comfortable with your own set of “talents”. Some people never can make precise measurements, but they can still draw in proportion through an intuitive quick approach. ALL SUPPLIES PROVIDED.
