This workshop will cover techniques on creating a broken color painting.

Broken color refers to the use of applying distinct brushstrokes of different colors side-by-side, allowing the viewer's eye to optically mix them rather than blending the paint. I will be doing demos, slideshows and illustrations to explain how to effectively use this technique. There will be time in class to create your own beautiful impressionistic paintings.  

Individual instruction as well as final critiques of each students works will be provided..

Open yourself to a more creative approach to painting with broken color!

MATERIALS

Students will provide their own materials. A supply list will be sent out prior to the workshop.
