Color is one of the most powerful—and often most challenging—aspects of painting. In this seven-week course, students will develop confidence by learning how to mix clean, vibrant, and accurate color rather than relying on paint straight from the tube. Through demonstrations, guided exercises, and practical painting assignments, you'll gain a deeper understanding of individual pigments, color temperature, value, chroma, transparency, and opacity, while learning why some color mixtures succeed and others fall flat.

As the course progresses, students will apply these concepts through increasingly complex painting exercises, culminating in a finished painting that reflects a thoughtful and intentional use of color. Ideal for beginning and intermediate oil painters, this class emphasizes practical application over theory, giving students the knowledge and confidence to mix color accurately and make stronger color decisions in every painting they create.
