This half-day workshop explores ways you can modify the traditional color wheel to suit your own creative practice. We'll begin with an overview of color models used by artists from the 17th century to the present. A sequence of exercises will demonstrate ways to leverage traditional color concepts to meet different aims. You'll come away with new frameworks for experimentation, and potentially new ways of working with your trusted colors.

You're encouraged to bring your preferred color medium. The concepts and principles covered in the class can be applied to any color medium, wet or dry. 
 

>> Prerequisite: Students are expected to have a basic familiarity with color theory.

Materials to Bring: Bring a range of colors in whichever medium you're comfortable with: colored pencil, pastel, watercolor, gouache, acrylic, plus any brushes or accessories needed. No oils, please. Paper will be provided. 

Date & Time: Sunday, February 16, 2025 :: 1-5pm

Location: 375 Rhode Island St, San Francisco, CA 94103
