After years of teaching drawing and painting classes, I began to notice that many students had only a minimum knowledge of color and how to use it properly within their paintings and/or drawings. As a concerned result, I developed a five-week color theory class that offers hands-on activities with a fun take on learning how to use color effectively and confidently. Not only will students learn how to mix a variety of pigments in several mediums, they will also have a new understanding of how color affects every aspect of our lives.

Although this is a course for beginners, it is helpful to have some basic drawing skills.
