Week #2 Color Scheme

The first week was trying!!!  to say the least.  I think all is well in cyber space.  This week has gone very smooth.  I made the blog public so that anyone could get in.  A couple of years ago I took a marketing class on line.  She used Blogger.  Things have change....Google owns Blogger, so I don't understand why they have so many problems.  I contact a new on line workshop hosting company.  You upload your info and they send it out.  So if we survive the next 2 weeks I will have the next on line workshop with them.  I truly appreciate all the input from attendees, thank you so much for hanging in there.

Week #2 is about Color Scheme Layouts
I recently took a workshop with Robert Burridge, if you ever get a chance and want to experiment with acrylics and collage, this is the workshop.  He uses Color Theory in a different way.  He has a dominate color, a secondary color, then he throws in a spice color.  His work is Happy & Fun.

Mixes clean colors has always been a challenge for beginning artist.  Working with the "personalities of each pigment" will give you the basic understanding how to get bright clean colors while understanding how to get those beautiful shadow colors.

Next week we will explore the "colors of gray".  Many years ago I took a workshop from Jeanie Dobbie, her book Making Color Sing is still very popular.  She calls her gray colors Mouse Colors.  This is still a must have book in my library.

Happy Painting!
