Secrets of Color Harmony – Part IPart I
Saturday, January 26, 2013 Interested in diving into color in the new year? Colors can be like children – sometimes they just don't play together well. How do you change that? How do you make colors play – and work – together well in a painting? In this workshop, you'll learn foolproof secrets of creating beautiful, harmonious color in your paintings – and you'll put them into practice! In Part 1, on January 26, 2013, you'll learn and apply four specific, surefire methods of creating color harmony. You will also learn about color wheels (two kinds), complementary colors, and color mixing, and practice what you've learned. Then you will experiment with different color palettes, using acrylic paints, so you can compare and contrast the results of making different color choices. Over the course of the day, you will create your own book of examples that you can use as an invaluable color reference later.

Secrets of Color Harmony – Part II
Part II
Date to be announced, January 2014
In Secrets of Color Harmony – Part II, you'll learn and apply six more specific, infallible techniques for creating color harmony in your paintings. Taming those uncooperative colors really isn't as hard as it may seem, once you know these secrets and have had a chance to put them into practice.
You'll also learn more about how and why colors work with – or against – each other, how and why the same color changes depending on where you use it, and how to use that knowledge to create stronger compositions. It's color theory, simplified and made practical, so that you can apply what you learn in your own paintings.
Throughout the day, you will add to your own book of examples, an invaluable color resource which you can refer back to later.
