Exploring color at Glen Arbor Art Association with Duncan Sprattmoran
Upcoming EventMost painters stick with the tried and true: the pigments that are affordable and familiar. But to break into new expressive territory an artist needs to experiment with the unfamiliar. By providing the colors most of us do not even think to use, the workshop allows painters to explore colors in a playful two-day workshop focused on exploring the possibilities in the unfamiliar. Four unique palettes will be provided, allowing you to explore interesting possibilities inherent in pigments such as quinacradone rose, indanthrene blue, bismuth vanadate yellow, and ultramarine violet, as well as others. In addition to color theory, we will play with brushwork and composition in order to let the hues sing. The class is ideal for experienced painters who want to push into new territory. Bring brushes, palette, and water bucket. Fee includes paint. Registrations must be received by Oct. 5.
