The splendid colors of radicchio, watermelons, plums, and more will be the subject of our studies from observation. By examining essential color concepts such as value, hue, and saturation, we will deepen our sensitivity to those elements. In addition to working from observation, we will build color relationships independent of imagery to strengthen our understanding of how color functions. Doing so will increase our options and serve our personal goals in painting. This intensive workshop is meant for anyone who has done some or a lot of painting. Open to all opaque mediums (acrylic, oil, or gouache).
