Mixing Color 101 Workshop
Adult Workshop | This class is completed
A color foundation will only enhance your painted pieces. Let’s polish up our knowledge of color mixing in both watercolor and/or acrylics. We will revisit the primary colors and mix them to create a wide array of hues. This is a great workshop for beginners or for those who want to refresh their skills. Learn to mix opposite colors on the color wheel; create dynamic shading and learn about wash techniques. Mix your own colors, explore values, tones, and more.
Supplies:Watercolors of choice-tubes or tray sets. I use Pellikan
Paper- I use Fabriano 140 cold press or of your own choice (just don’t use Canson ). Must be 140lb. cold press
Water color paint-I use Pellican, or of choice.
Scrap paper to test
Water containers
Brushes- of choice, but make sure you have a flat #12 or a 3/4

Acrylic Supplies: Acrylic paints. Primary colors ( cadmium red, cobalt blue, cadmium medium yellow, and white and black) You don’t need expensive acrylics- I use Soho or Liquidtex.
