This hands-on highly interactive class is for all skill levels and offers a practical approach to mixing a wide range of colors from a limited palette. Through guided mixing exercises, master copies, lectures and demos you will explore color theory through analyzing mixing strategies and palette choices to create vivid and personal watercolor paintings. We will explore together how other artists use color effectively and learn how to apply their strategies to your own work.
