Color Theory for Painters offers strategies and approaches for painters who want to explore making artwork with “color-formed” space and wish to harness their intuition about color in a guided manner. Many paintings may be colorful, but in these paintings, value not color directs visual perceptions. This workshop will help artists make art “in color” where the pictorial space is structured and defined using color. Participants will grasp a theoretical underpinning of color-formed space and expression, gain a sense of the historical evolution of color in art, develop the ability to know when a work is “in color”, and work toward achieving color-formed space and expression in their paintings. Each of the five sessions will include a review of painters in history that evolved the use of color in new ways followed by participants making examples of paintings in response to assigned color problems. This workshop is a great opportunity for practicing artists to better understand the role of color in painting.
