Are you overwhelmed by color choices and still not getting the results you want in your paintings? This is a playful, practical workshop designed for artists who want to take control of their palette, understand color mixtures, and use color confidently to create mood, light, and harmony in their work.

Developed for a national conference for artists, this workshop will help you finally make sense of limited palettes, color schemes, and the effects of light. You’ll work in fast-drying acrylics to explore mutes, tones, tints, shades, color relativity, and color psychology—so you can apply what you learn right away.

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of how color works and how to make it work for you.

All supplies provided via the supplies fee.
