Color Mixing with Watercolor and Acrylics

Wednesdays January 15-February 19, 2014

Subject: Still life

You will learn how to use the traditional and CYM (cyan, yellow and magenta) color wheels with primary triads. Expect to do a lot of color mixing every other week, alternate weeks we will use what we've learned by painting/coloring a simple still life. 

What to bring to class

See sidebar.

The Schedule

Please note that every other week you will need to bring in the photo listed  below. I would highly recommend that you have at least a 4 x 6 size for each. You may want to draw the subjects in advance. In class, I will demonstrate the subject and the medium we will use. Please note: some students are now bringing their Ipads and Kindle Fire, using our wireless connection, instead of photos.
