Color & Design II: Advanced Color Theory and Design - Patti Adams

Prerequisite: Introduction to Color Theory or Color & Design

In this six-week class, we will explore the more advanced principles of color theory, including simultaneous contrast, color analysis, and understanding the origins of pigments, while mixing and making your own paint.

The medium we will use in this class is gouache.

A supply kit, including powdered pigments, will be provided for a fee.
