Color Theory II

For those who are eager to step into the world of painting ( or advance a practice that is already underway ), these sessions break it all down into specific color assignments that address painterly issues — composition, mixing pigments, color harmony, translating observations into working color relationships, how to apply paint, preparing substrates ( painting surfaces ), with explanations about all manner of methods and materials. Each course runs for 6 weeks. Demonstrations, handouts, discussion and critique bring concept and theory into practice. Please note: students must have completed Color Theory I before registering for Color Theory II. Materials list will be distributed upon registration. Bring a brown-bagged lunch!

About the instructor, Kris Engman "I’m drawn to various subjects and materials as a painter of the land and life in Maine; my palette imitates the seasonally shifting behaviors of the terrain in and around Waldo County. The paintings are an expression of color in some sort of balance that feels connected to daily routines and observations. The role of the ‘story’ is minimized; attention is directed past what is going on in the painting toward how things relate visually to each other. The body of work is about color behavior and the arrangement of information; images are manipulated until a certain light condition is struck and a sense of territory is explained."

Kris received her MFA from the University of Pennsylvania and my BFA from the Maine College of Art. Since 2003, she has taught in the University of Maine Art Department, JanPlans at Colby College, and was a Visiting Assistant Professor at Colby for the 2022-23 academic year. As well as showing locally, Kris has exhibited at the Arden Gallery in Boston, the Schmidtberger Fine Arts Gallery in Pennsylvania, The Geras Tousignant Gallery In SanFrancisco CA, and at the Harbor Square Gallery in Rockland.
