Introduction to Color & Design - Patti Adams

In this six-week class, we will explore the fundamental principles of color theory - the science and art of using color.

You will make your own color wheel, explore color values and better understand primary, secondary and tertiary colors through a series of in-class exercises and homework assignments.

I will be doing demonstrations using a variety of mediums but the main medium we will use is gouache.

A supply kit can be purchased online before check out. Color and Design kit is $150.

Supplies: A kit containing gouache paints, pencil, eraser, brush and a Bristol pad will be available for purchase when you arrive for your first class (Cost approx. $100).

In addition to the kit please bring the following:
