Sp58E Exploring Color with Watercolors (Zoom; OLLI @ Chico)
Zoom | Available (Membership Required)
How do you know what colors to use and which ones to mix when working on a painting? Having an understanding and some experience with color helps artists make informed decisions and choices in developing their paintings. Using watercolors, participants will explore different color schemes and how they can affect the mood and impact of a painting. Each week will feature a different color scheme, a color exercise, and/or a painting.
