Beyond the color wheel

The Art of Color is a joyful exploration of how color creates energy, movement, rhythm, contrast and emotion. You explore complementary colors, neighboring colors and surprising combinations, and learn what makes a palette harmonize, vibrate or pop.

What you leave with

You leave with color studies, experience with a variety of art materials, your own personal color palette and fresh ideas to carry into your art. Paint/Sketch builds on the same ideas, teaching you to harmonize value, hue and brushwork in your paintings.
