Color Vocabulary

Tiphoni

Have you ever wanted to be able to mix a color that you have seen somewhere but didn't know where to begin? Have you been confused over what colors to use (and not to use)? This is the class for you! We will be discussing just about everything there is to know about color, from basic theory, warm vs. cool, relative color, the process of mixing and more.

Although you will leave with a finished painting in a palette of your choosing please note that this is a theory class and the emphasis will be on this, not painting. (subject of the painting will be up to you)
