COLOR VIBRANCY ON SILK (1 day )

Beautiful color is the hallmark of silk painting.

How can I make my color less predictable and more exciting? How can I get more subtlety in my colors?

What makes color harmony? We will work with the same image so that everyone’s painting contributes to what we learn together. Using the same colors you’ve always had, you can make your reds redder and your blues bluer. Learn the art school basics in one day of great color fun.

Materials fee: $10.
