Join instructor Bonnie Paisley at Paisley Studios for the first in a new series of workshops devoted to COLOR. This one day workshop will take us through the color wheel and beyond. Not a traditional color theory class per se, you will be given a lot time for hands on play and have unprecedented access to the instructors vast collection of pigments in oil, acrylic, and watercolor paints. Color, and the way we react to it, is personal—forged by our memories and our personalities. Fascinating tidbits of historical information will be given, as well as examples of how contemporary artists use color, and basic guidelines for painting with oil, acrylic, and watercolor.

A chance for students of any skill level to really practice SEEING color, experimenting with how different colors interact, playing with paint, and making friends with some new colors in the new year. All materials are provided for this class. This is part one of a 3 part workshop series, take them à la carte or sign up for all three! Note: If you have a child (usually age 9+) that is particularly interested in color and working with paint, please consider taking this workshop as a parent/child duo! January 28th, 2024 fromvSunday 10am-3pm

Special Lunch Time Visitor: Pigment hunter, color alchemist, and artist Carolyn Sweeney of Strata Ink will be popping in for a show and tell
