Limited Palette Workshop

Instructor: Carla Gauthier, [email protected], 281-384-2473  http://carlagauthier.com 

Instead of buying every new color that comes out, learn what the colors you have can do for you! Color can be overwhelming to painters, especially with all the new offerings out there. Understanding the properties of different tube colors is where we will start. Then we will move on to mixtures and what emotions they evoke.

Limiting the palette of colors you use for each painting allows you to create a unified painting with a stronger sense of mood and energy. You will paint your own subject matter and together we will decide what colors will best convey the mood you want to create.

The bonus of this class……the fewer colors that you paint with, the more energy and concentration you will have to devote to shapes, values, edges and movement in your painting.

All levels.
