Has mixing green ever been frustrating? Learn an easy-to-use color mixing strategy for your greens. With only a few tubes of paint, you learn how to mix natural-looking greens. You will create color charts which you will then be able to apply to future paintings. Carol demonstrates mixing color throughout the workshop. Green will soon be a joy for you to mix.

This workshop is for advanced beginner to intermediate painters. Oil, watercolor, water-mixable oil, and acrylic painters of all styles are welcome.

When people look at my abstract paintings, they often say, "I don't usually like abstracts, but I like yours!"

When people look at my abstracts, they often say, "I don't usually like abstracts, but I like yours!" They enjoy entering each painting and traversing a journey all their own. Here I am on opening night next to "Silent Truths."

"Unveiling the Invisible," is the debut of my abstract paintings! During the reception, I was be available to discuss my process, where my inspirations come from and how I develop the titles. Placards are on display showing the various steps it takes for me to create the layers and depth within a painting. Here is an example:

Color is the most important art skill to learn and can be the most difficult. Color is also what viewers first react to when looking at your work. I show you a common sense approach to mixing color and share color secrets you can apply immediately. It will be a hands-on class working with YOUR pigments, not prescribed tubes, to facilitate you developing your own palette. You will leave with references and handouts that you can use for the life of your painting career.  

Topics to be Covered:

• Becoming intimate with your tubes of paint;
• Understanding the important of color bias;
• Creating beautiful 'mud' colors when you want to;
• Mixing colorful darks;

• Learning the magic of the Two-Primary Palette;
• Mixing greens of all seasons;
• How to develop your own color palette(s);
• How to use color in creating depth;
• .....and lots more.

Test your color knowledge by taking this Color IQ Quiz found on my blog post.

Testimonial:

After studying color theory with several teachers and reading a number of books, finally, the concept of color bias was presented by Carol McIntyre making color theory instantly clear. What a relief! Logic instead of guessing and hoping. Seriously grateful, AEGrasso
