Take the Mystery Out of Mixing Colors! (Aug 9)
Instructor: Dianna Fritzler
Duration of Class: One Day (6 Hours)
Medium: Acrylic and Oil - Color Mixing
Skill Level: All
Do you set up your pallet with a boat load of paints because you’re not sure how to mix colors that you need? And when you run out of a color you’ve previously mixed do you panic because you have no idea how to replicate it? Or do you have a color in your head that you’d like to mix, but have no idea how? Do you start to mix a color and end up with “mud”? Or do you wind up getting so frustrated with colors that painting becomes a chore?
