Description: Learn to mix any color from the three primaries plus black and white. This builds great foundational skills before expanding your palette to include more pigments. In addition to helping strengthen your color skills, learning to mix from the primaries is an affordable way to get started painting without buying so many colors at once. We’ll start with a bit of color theory, mix a color wheel, make some neutral colors, and practice matching a few shades.

Supplies: Materials provided

I have been working in the medium of collage for nearly 30 years. I enjoy the infinite variety of ways one can combine different paper and media together to create layered and nuanced images. Collage allows the mind to relax and open to possibilities, almost like putting together a puzzle but only you know the picture on the box top. I enjoy helping others to tap into their creative side, sharing the benefit of my years of trial and error, and laughing together over the joyfulness that comes from making art!
