Marilyn Bruya’s Color Mixing Strategies (series)
An event every week that begins at 3:00 pm on Wednesday, repeating until October 12, 2022
September 14 – October 12, 2022, Wednesdays from 3pm – 6pm
A 15 hour course over 5 days, this class is an introduction to how color occurs in nature, how to use a color wheel, how to see color accurately, mix colors you see and relate color in an image, design or color scheme.
Attendance at the first 3 hour class is required since other classes build on instruction given that first class. Color information can be applied to many media, but we will use acrylic paint to simplify the projects in this class.
Briefly: the course covers: 1, making your own color wheel to understand complementary color 2. making a series of complementary color mixtures to see how they create neutral colors 3. Matching color in a natural object and its relationship to background colors. 4 Paint an image using complementary color objects and background. 5. Painting white objects /backgrounds.
