How Do Get All Those GREENS?!
—using water-mixable oils
TBA
ALL ART SUPPLIES PROVIDED! $70 (special price)
Mixing more GREENS than you ever imagined, using oil paints that clean up with soap and water. Color theory, with a discussion of hue, value, temperature, intensity—warm, cool, light, dark, subdued, vibrant—and then we paint!
—Just come with an apron, palette knife, and fine-line sharpie (to label your colors)!
Participants walk away with a sheet of all the colors they have mixed, labeled so that later you can reproduce the colors! (and we might just have time to compare our colors with what is really outside!)
You may bring a snack/drink.
Registration and payment is through the Instructor or Stewart Gallery (email).
