COLOR MIXING, VALUE, CONTRAST
& COLOR HARMONY
instructor: Vesta Kirby

By popular request we will focus in depth on color mixing. We will explore how to achieve a lively result of mixing two colors to make a third, making
complements vibrate and using their muted effects and how to create rich earth hues. Practicing Value Contrast of light to dark hues will create
drama in your paintings. And, we will address color temperature. These will give dynamic color results for all your paintings including using strong foreground and subtle color for creating distance. And, finally, applying Color Harmony, how to put different colors together to enhance your watercolor paintings. Be ready for an exciting adventure in the ways of powerful COLOR! We will use both still life set ups and the landscape for paintings. Materials list provided on registration.
