The Perfect Trio - Triadic Color Schemes - Beginner

Class | Available

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

Balance bold color with ease and confidence. Triadic schemes are vibrant and full of personality—but they need the right balance! Triadic schemes are bold, beautiful, and surprisingly easy once you learn the tricks.

You’ll practice mixing and applying classic triads (like red-yellow-blue or orange-green-violet) and complete a colorful floral piece to show it off.

Class Goals:
  • Understand what makes a triadic color scheme
  • Learn how to balance vibrant hues
  • Practice using triads in pattern and composition
What to Expect:

Through swatching, planning, and painting, you’ll master color harmony and leave with a radiant, balanced painting full of creative expression.

You’ll leave with:
  • Swatch charts and triadic palette planning tools
  • A strategy for balancing bold colors
  • Confidence in mixing and applying triadic color combinations
  • A finished triadic composition with florals

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.
