Color Theory & Color Mixing

Color Theory & Color Mixing

January 17 - January 18
Sat, Su
9:30 AM - 4:30 PM
All Levels

Working with the Munsell color system, we will learn color mixing techniques and understand specific colors in terms of three-dimensions, hue, value, and chroma. The workshop will focus on a series of mixing exercises designed to help students gain a better understanding of how to achieve the colors they desire. Studying with Larine Chung, students will review the historic palettes used by different master painters, both for inspiration and reference.
