This class explores color theory and its application to painting. We will learn about primary colors, cool and warm colors, how to use a color wheel, and how to match almost any color with a limited palette of paints. This course will culminate in a colorful still life or still life inspired painting that utilizes students' new knowledge of color theory and color matching. This class will be taught in oils, but could easily be applied to acrylic, watercolor, and gouache.
