Improve your ability to see and mix color! We will mix a full range of colors from just red, yellow and blue. Then we will add three more colors and you’ll have a versatile but simple way to achieve harmony and vibrancy in your paintings.   Learn to identify the color  in whites,  neutral colors,  darks.  Mixing from primaries  improves  your recognition of  relative temperature, hue, and value. We will paint in oil, from still life in the studio, and will study master paintings.  

All levels welcome, some drawing experience required.
