Upcoming March Workshops at the Art League School in Alexandria, VA

Color for Painters (New Workshop!)
March 20th-23rd, 2012 (4 days) 10:00 am-4:00 pm
FILLED

To quote Winslow Homer, "A painter without understanding of color is like a mechanic without tools." This in-depth workshop will provide the skills you need to apply the principles of color composition to your painting in oil, watercolor or pastel. We'll use intensive abstract and realist exercises to learn the basics as well as the more complex concepts of color relationships. We'll also look at many examples of how painters throughout art history have applied color theory to their work, as well as investigate the concepts of Goethe, Chevreul, Albers, and other pioneers in the understanding of color.
A prior painting class is a prerequisite.
