Introduction to Color Theory and Color Schemes Painting Workshop

In this workshop, we'll dive into color theory and learn how to use color schemes to make your artwork more dynamic with acrylic paints. Through guided instruction, you'll explore primary, secondary, and tertiary colors by painting your own color wheel, then move into warm versus cool tones and color schemes including complementary, analogous, and monochromatic. You'll also be introduced to Josef Albers' influential theory of color and how to practically apply it to your own work. From there, you'll put your knowledge into practice with a painting exercise utilizing analogous and complementary color schemes. A fun and eye-opening way to see how color choices can transform your work. Perfect for beginners and experienced artists alike. All supplies provided.
