Get color confidence. Susan T. Fisher teaches you a system for combining colors consistently so you won't have to settle for the ones you end up with through trial and error. Lots of exercises, discussions, individual attention and demonstrations will show you how to achieve the broadest possible spectrum. You'll get answers to many of your questions as we discuss the various properties of paint. Familiarize yourself with the codes to quality paint and choose pigments that will endure. Although we will use watercolors in class, the principles of this instruction also apply to acrylics, gouache, inks, oil paints and casein. This class is a CBA Certificate requirement.
*You must register for this virtual class in advance*
Suitable for artists at all levels, no experience required. Color mixing watercolor sheets provided.
