“Intensive Color Theory” 2 Day Workshop w/ Angela Bandurka
 

DATE & TIME:  Sat & Sun  November 22 & 23   11am-5pm

COST: $225

CLASS DESCRIPTION:

From one of our most popular instructors, here is a two day color theory workshop for any level - beginner, intermediate and advanced. This will be the foundation for all your painting from here on - take what you learn here and apply it in whatever medium you like to work.

Color is so complicated, and learning the rules and how to break them gives you a lot of power when you sit down to paint. Angela will take you through the theory, give you practical projects to help illustrate the theory, and helpful email summaries at the end of each class.

In Day One, Angela will teach you the various color wheel forms and how they are used. You’ll learn about the elements of color: hue, value and intensity. You’ll work on a project to bring this learning from theory into reality.

In Day Two, you’ll learn about the masters of color, including Picasso and Zorn, in a slideshow, and Angela will teach you about the rules of color and when to break those rules. The project you’ll work on will cement that understanding into your repertoire of painting tools, so you can take these new ideas into any future project.
