Color in Harmony- Analogous Schemes - Beginner

Class | FULL


Please note:  This class is 10 am to 2 pm.  One hour longer than the previous beginner series. 

Flow and glow with beautiful neighboring colors!

Create harmony with a hint of mystery! Discover how neighboring colors can bring your art to life with subtle beauty and emotional impact.
In this session, we explore color harmony using 3–4 colors that sit side-by-side on the color wheel. You’ll learn how to create brilliant color combinations with soft edges, transitions, layered blends and feathery textures in a study of peacocks.

Class Goals:
  • Learn to select and use analogous color schemes
  •  Create smooth transitions, subtle blends, soft versus hard edges, and textures (including working with masking fluid)
  •  Explore mood and harmony in color

What to Expect:

You’ll explore brilliant, harmonious color and textures as you paint beautiful feathers and fowl!

You’ll leave with:
  • Skill in choosing harmonious palettes
  • Techniques and experience for creating flowing color transitions, blends, and textures
  • A brilliantly colored painting using 3–4 neighboring hues
  • A small diptych of a loose, flowy, peacock feather alongside a beautiful portait of the bird in its full glory!

Sign up now to explore the beauty of nature through color as you paint a feathered friend in brilliant analogous colors!

Kimberly Cesaretti

Kim was born in northern New Jersey, residing in Elizabeth and Hillside prior to moving “down the shore” with her family to Lanoka Harbor in December, 1971, where she and her two younger sisters were raised. She has been an artist since early childhood, from the moment she could pick up a crayon and make marks on paper. While a student attending Lacey Township High School, Kim participated in the New Jersey State Teen Arts Festival where her watercolor work was chosen to tour the state. Also, one of her oil paintings won second place in the New Jersey State Congressional Art Competition in her senior year. After high school, Kim attended the prestigious Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University. She continued her education at Ocean County College (OCC) and, while a student there, Kim landed a job as a Graphics Artist at the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division Lakehurst (NAWCADLKE), NJ. She continued her career there after earning her Associate Degree in Fine Arts from OCC and then went on to earn a degree in Art Education from Georgian Court College in May 1995. Upon graduation, Kim received the Art Award from the Art Department at GCC and the Dean’s Medal of Academic Excellence (Highest GPA, Evening Division). While still employed as a Graphics Artist at NAWC, Kim earned a Master of Science in Systems Management with a Certificate in Technology Management from Capitol College, Laurel, MD in May 1998. After a seven year career as a Graphics Artist, Kim took the opportunity to enter the acquisition field in the Department of Defense as a Contract Specialist in August, 1997. Then, in January, 2000, Kim was hired as an Adjunct Instructor at Georgian Court College/Georgian Court University to help start and develop a web design program for the Art Department. Kim married her husband, Albert, in October, 2000. They have two daughters.
