Workshop: Acrylics, Mixing Color for Realism

Instructor: Jeff Lodge
Date: Saturday, August 10 from 11am-2pm
Class size: 5-12 participants
(Register by August 7)

Mixing the right color can be challenging. In this workshop, Jeff will show how to reproduce the colors in a scene using tints, tones, shades, and hues. Common problems and mistakes will be covered, and students will learn how to get the correct overall tonal balance in a painting, recreate atmospheric effects, and use glazing to reduce contrast and blend color areas.

Although acrylics will be used in the workshop, the theories taught are applicable to all opaque paint mediums (such as acrylic, oil, and gouache). Students will create a small painting during the class. This workshop is for all skill levels.

Students should bring: Brushes, palette, palette knives, apron (if desired).
Paint, small canvases, water and mixing cups, and cleanup supplies are supplied.
