The Still Life: Painting with Chromatic Harmony
GGT Weekend Workshop | Available
In this 2-day workshop participants will engage in the process of identifying distinct shapes of color based on Value, Temperature, and Intensity. We will explore cross-sections of the color wheel to create harmonic color mixtures and build sensitive and dynamic compositions in paint.
