Does the luminous, free flowing, color-saturated watercolor medium attract yet intimidate you?  I will provide students with a solid understanding of watercolor pigments, brushes and supports.  Experimentation with materials precedes a step-by-step approach to painting. 

Classes held on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon are intended for students who have some experience painting and have taken at least one of my classes.  The subject of our painting is a scene of downtown Chico at dusk.

How to Master Color Theory for Artists

Friday, March 25th

Hours:  2-5pm

Cost: $190

8-week duration

 This course is meant for any person practicing the visual arts professionally or as a hobby.  Class sessions will incorporate a practical application of color theory through hands-on exercises.  Exercises will encompass painting small objects in light and shadow in order to be able to paint them accurately.  This in turn will greatly enhance your knowledge and understanding of color and color mixing. 

At the end of the class, each participant will leave with a Color Theory book filled with your own individual notes, exercises and color swatches to act as a reference for your future painting endeavors.

Seating will be limited so signup today by sending an email to:  csexton19@gmail.com or feel free to call me.
