Join Little Fox Watercolors for an in-person watercolor workshop focused on color mixing, observation, and intentional practice — not perfection.

Essential Color is the sequel to Paint It Gray and is designed for beginners and returning students who want to build confidence mixing watercolor using a simple, thoughtful system.

In this workshop, we remove excess materials and focus on learning how color actually works.

What This Class Focuses On

Using only three single-pigment Winsor &amp; Newton Professional Watercolors, we’ll learn how to:
	•	Read and understand watercolor tube information (pigment codes, transparency, lightfastness)
	•	Control value before mixing color
	•	Mix secondary colors intentionally
	•	Understand color bias and why some mixes stay clean while others turn muddy
	•	Create beautiful, controlled neutrals (on purpose)
	•	Mix color on the palette and directly on paper using wet-on-wet technique

The primary pigments used:
	•	Lemon Yellow
	•	Permanent Rose
	•	Winsor Blue (Red Shade)

⸻

How the Class Is Structured

We’ll work step by step through guided exercises, including:
	•	Individual color ranges and value scales
	•	mixing charts
	•	Wet-on-wet color interaction
	•	Simple reference charts built directly into a take-home sketchbook

The class ends with short paint rounds. Participants have the autonomy to follow painting prompts from Nicole, the artist behind Little Fox Watercolors, or paint loosely without any plan, allowing them to experiment, observe, and apply what you’ve learned in a low-pressure way.

⸻

This Workshop Is For
	•	Beginners ready to move beyond monochrome; or painters with no watercolor experience. 
	•	Artists curious about color mixing without overwhelm
	•	Creatives who enjoy working slowly, thoughtfully, and with intention

⸻

Materials

Professional materials are provided, including:
	•	Winsor &amp; Newton Professional Watercolor paints
	•	A sketchbook you’ll take home
	•	All paper and supplies needed for class exercises

Please bring:
	•	Your Silver Black Velvet #6 round brush (from Paint It Gray or your own similar brush); if this is your first class, you will have access to use a brush that must be returned at the end of class. 

Optional: save a few full color reference images on your phone for inspiration during free paint. We’ll practice looking at images through the lens of light, dark, and color relationships, not realism.

⸻

Registration &amp; Notes
