Color Workshop Class Day I
"Mix the Color You Want Every Time"
This workshop will explore color theory and color mixing.
We will spend the day making a color chart that you will be able to use as a reference for your work moving forward. Discussions will focus on the the mechanics of warm and cool colors, and how they interact with one another to produce light and space in your work. This simple exercise of focusing on color mixing will strengthen your knowledge of choosing the right pair of colors for the desired effect.
Complimentary pairs and secondary colors will be our focus.
Class will meet from 10:00-4:00 PM half hour break for lunch at the
I will provide the canvas that will be ready to work on with the template grid penciled in. Bring only your paint and art supplies for Day 1.
Color Workshop Class Day II
"Learn to paint beautiful still live using color theory"
This workshop is only available to students who have participated in
Color Workshop I.
This class will use the color chart made in the first workshop to select a pair of colors for their palette. A small still life made up of white objects will be used as subject matter. In this way students will learn to apply what they learned by mixing colors (that lean either warm or cool) and how to use that formula to represent light and shadow.
Value and color concepts will be explored further as well as personal instruction with participants.
Class will meet from 10:00-4:00PM ½ with a half hour break for lunch.

KATHLEEN ROBBINS
Kathleen Robbins
Earned her MFA at Massachusetts College of Art where she later became a faculty member. Many of her landscapes reflect the seacoast area of Maine and New Hampshire. She has worked in art therapy at a local hospital over the past decade. Her inspiration comes from many sources including still life and landscape. “The process of building the painting is critical to my work. Gesture, color, line and surface all play with the space to create a distinct movement between representation and semi abstraction.” What drives her art is the initial response to a moment in time. The surface is often calm and time is suspended, with the ever-present tension on the verge of movement and change. How one object or shape affects the other is a continuing source of fascination for her. Layers are built upon or removed to create the final piece, as the painting takes on a life of its own. “You’ll find my work straddles the line between abstraction and figuration. Working directly from life I distill the elements of the landscape to an economy of mark making and random shorthand.” The loose abstract quality of the paint conveys the mood and sense of place. By stripping away explicit details and embracing the fluidity of abstraction, the work becomes a visual dialogue between the physical world and the emotional interpretation of the viewer.
