This in-depth but beginner-friendly class will help take theory into reality while relaxing fears about color. Each class session includes a color theory painting “exercise” and time dedicated to painting from a still life. An extensive color wheel, learning how to see color, and focus on lighting with a dash of beginners acrylic painting skills are key ingredients to this course.
