My students painting away at the Color Mixing class

MY BUSY BEES PAINTING AWAY!

The subject of the 3rd class was  low chroma vs high chroma paintings and creating own music in your art pieces .

I think every each of my lady-students achieved that task wonderfully and had so much fun painting freely.

Diana's painting.
Diana stated that blue and yellow her less favorite colors.
it looks like she embraced her dislikes and came up
with beautiful high chroma piece.

What do you think?

Rennie's painting. She playfully exaggerated the color and
achieved a very great affect of high chroma painting  

Jesse's painting.
 Very expressive strokes , use of contrasts  
and certainly hight chroma painting .

Michelle's painting.
 A deliberate brush strokes  which 
is not typical for Michelle's style, 
powerful combination of  high
 chroma  colors

Janice's painting.
More muted colors but still very strong design
, use of color and most realistic aproach.

Susanna's painting.
Susanna decided to paint with palette knife.
Although she used it for the first time -
it was a great and successful attempt

2 NEW ART CLASSES on Bainbridge island and Seattle

Color Mixing in Oils and Acrylics

Is the art of color mixing still a mystery to you? Are you struggling with seeing and applying colors accurately? You are not alone! In fact, none of us was born with this ability. But the good news is, it can be learned. This class will give you the tools and knowledge to accurately measure color, understand the relationship between colors, and adjust them to suit your own creative quest.  We will begin with alla prima still lifes and move on to plein air painting, focusing on color mixing, brush strokes, and paint application.
Free bonuses: a useful tool for seeing colors accurately and a critique session after the class.
