The paintings of Van Gogh, Matisse, Mary Cassatt, and Georgia O’Keeffe glow with luminous color and depth. In this color-focused class, we will examine the color secrets of master colorists to apply them to our own work. Every class will include a series of progressive color exercises and a dynamic still life, so students can practice mixing color and creating color relationships directly from a motif. We will use a variety of media, such watercolor, gouache, color pencils, and collage, and explore color concepts such value, hue, and color temperature. We will even learn to seek out a “color surprise” to enrich our paintings! Color theorists such as Joseph Albers and Hans Hofmann will be introduced and discussed, but the essence of the class is experiential, not theoretical.

The goal is for you to increase your confidence in perceiving and mixing color, as well as the courage to try unusual color combinations. Matisse said, “When I paint green, it doesn’t mean grass; when I paint blue, it doesn’t mean sky.” This class is open to beginners as well as experienced students. By having a deeper understanding of the effect of color and light on the motif before you, you will be able to identify the colors necessary to create a painting you love.

Materials are included
