Color Mixing for Painters w/Claudia Rilling

During this one-day color class students will learn how to skillfully mix oil paint through guided mixing exercises and how to better apply these ideas to one's own paintings.

Through hands-on exercises, demos, and lectures, color will become easier to use and to understand.

This class is geared towards the oil painter. Acrylic can be accommodated if one has a “stay-wet” palette set-up.

WHO IS THIS CLASS FOR: Any oil painter at any level who would like to be more confident with color control and mixing
