COLOR WORKSHOP 2007

SUCCESS WORKSHOP 2007

COLOR WORKSHOP February 17&18, 2007
2nd COLOR WORKSHOP  to be announced

Why a workshop on color?

Many artists choose their pallet colors on hue alone (apparent color). A lack of knowledge and use of the numerous other important prperties of paint often results in a host of disappointments- mud, inconsistent work and unconvincing rendering. Have you ever seen someone's work where the water or sky seems more solid than the transparent looking rocks in the foreground?

Outline:

This course is designed for the artist who wants to elevate their work- FAST!

This is a thorough and information packed course covering all of the most crucial topics. At the end of the day, each student will be able to…

  • determine which of their pigments are truly transparent, opaque, staining or removable
  • arrange the 3 basic triads for successful rendering
  • determine color purity and characteristics of their own pigments
  • create an ACCURATE color wheel
  • effectively match pigment types to subjects
  • mix secondary and semi-neutrals easily, including subtle grays
  • mix dramatic, clear darks that electrify and are NOT muddy
  • use advanced color combinations that work- EVERY TIME

SUCCESS WORKSHOP, time to be announced

What's a success workshop?

Does this sound familiar? You get really excited about a new painting and away you go!!!
But, when it's over... well... maybe it just doesn't measure up to you original enthusiasm. It's not so bad that you throw it out and yet it's maybe not quite worthy of investing in a $120 frame. So, it sits in a growing pile in some closet or under someone's bed.

These paintings are not good nor bad. They're just not finished yet.

OUTLINE:

Bring as many of these "not-quite-right paintings to the class and in a instructional environment, we will see how to turn them into valuable art. Then, fix them in under 30 minutes!
In my experience, most students consistantly make the same small error over and over. Find and fix that, and suddenly all the paintings under the bed can revitalized!

The success workshop invariably amounts to a full blown art course in 2 days and will take your art to the next level.


SUPPLIES:

Nothing! Just bring you old discards, your normal painting supplies and a lunch.
