This 4-week class is designed for artists who want to deepen their understanding of color and explore how it functions within their own artwork. Through guided studies, discussion, and studio time, students will gain practical tools for making more confident and intentional color choices.

Week 1: We'll begin by creating color studies and examining how various artists use color in their work.

Weeks 2-3 : Students will focus on developing their own artwork, applying concepts from the first session with individual guidance.

Week 4 : The class will conclude with a supportive group critique and discussion of each artist's work.

Students are encouraged to bring personal works in progress to develop throughout the course. 

Basic paper, watercolor, and acrylic painting supplies will be available at the Guild. You are also welcome to bring any preferred materials or specialty tools you enjoy using.
