Class size is limited to 3 students.
This workshop will teach you how to mix any color you need - every time.
The concepts presented will be of enormous benefit to the carver of any skill level. And I feel strongly that these fundamentals should be learned early in the beginner's study alongside the basic carving techniques. Painting should not be feared. All colors behave in a specific and predictable manner and understanding how colors behave will significantly lessen the learning curve.
This intensive 3-day seminar will consist of the following:
- The Fallacy of the "Three Color Primary" System
- Color Wheel Basics
- The Six Color Primary Palette
- Color Temperature
- Color Bias
- Lightfastness, Transparency & Opacity
- The Color Index Number - What It Is & Why You Need to Know
- Pre-mixed, Or "Designer" Colors & What to Be Aware of When Using Them
- "Earth" Colors (Siennas, Umbers & Ochres) - Tube vs. Mixing Your Own
- Values & Contrasts - Why They're Important & How to Use Them
- Mixing Your Own "Darks" (Greys & Almost Blacks) & Their Advantage Over Tube Blacks
You will do exercises using these concepts that includes:
- Mixing color charts using combinations of the "Six Primaries"
- Mixing color charts using various combinations of complimentary colors
- Mixing color charts of "darks" (greys & almost blacks) using complimentary colors
Included in the cost of the class will be pre-printed blank charts for the mixing exercises, printed notes of the fundamentals taught & a 3-ring binder for permanent storage.
You are encouraged to bring your own paints for comparison & demonstration.
You are not expected to have a large selection of red, yellows, blues, etc., but if you have them, by all means, bring them!
The purpose of this seminar is to teach you how to work with the pigments you already have,
why (or why not) you achieve the mix you are looking to make, and how to make an informed choice
of additional colors to add to your palette.
There will be additional colors available for purchase, if desired, to "complete" your palette.
This workshop does not teach how to apply paint, but how to mix your colors. If time allows, a demonstration will be given on using and applying different values to achieve realism & softness. This is a practical application of the concepts taught in the workshop.
By the end of the workshop you should be able to correctly choose your mixing colors based on your new-found knowledge of their characteristics to make the mix you want - every time.
This seminar is also offered outside of the scheduled dates by arrangement to suit your schedule.
E-mail me with your desired date to schedule a workshop.
Cost & amenities will remain the same.
A minimum of 3 students is required for specially scheduled classes at the studio

A minimum of 10 students is required.

*If the workshop doesn't fill four (4) weeks prior to the scheduled start date, the deposits will be refunded and the class will be cancelled. Deposits for last minute drop-outs will not be refunded.
