Join us for this low-stress color workshop where you will learn how to mix clean, vibrant color. We will explore concepts of color value, intensity and temperature, color mixing and application of color. Move past the basics of color theory, explore structured color schemes and strengthen your color knowledge. This workshop will introduce you to some strategies that will help you to use color with confidence and create paintings that have more visual impact.
Catherine Hearding has been teaching courses in Color Theory since 2003, first teaching it at the Como Conservatory, in St. Paul, and later in private classes and workshops in the Twin Cities. Since she started teaching these courses, she has noticed that her own work has improved greatly and attracts a lot of attention for its vibrant color. Catherine has been painting in watercolor for the past 30 years. She shows her work locally and in the past several years has been showing her work in many national watercolor exhibitions. She is a signature member of MNWS and Red River Watercolor Society and has received numerous awards, both locally and nationally. To see more of her work, go to her web site at www.chearding.com.
