Kelly will make it easy & fun while you learn how to mix color using acrylic paints. You'll gather new tips, tricks & techniques to make colors pop & sing in your artwork. You'll realize you don't need every tube of paint out there, that by using a few select colors, you can mix & make your own. You'll learn to layer colors & how to avoid (& fix) "mud". This is not a "project" class: you won't be walking out with a "finished" piece but instead leaving with a wealth of information & knowledge on color theory (& a special sample book which YOU will make). You'll also be able to take the ideas out of class & utilize them in your own artwork, no matter what you create. This is a brand NEW class; one that Kelly's students have been requesting for a very long time, so join Kelly in her new multimedia workshop in which you will be exploring the use of color on you & your art. (Thanks to A.G.) PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN PEN OR PENCIL, ROLL OF PAPER TOWELS, AND A ROLL OF WAXED PAPER. IF DESIRED, BRING YOUR JOURNAL to use up excess paint & experimentation!
