Description:

Ah, the peaceful, relaxing art of mixing the exact right color. Totally chill, right? Not if you’re not a seasoned mixologist. Which you will become in part 3 of the Watercolor Workshop Series. In this session, we’ll dive deep into the color wheel and its representation of color theory. We’ll explore color relationships, complementary tones, secondary colors, and the essential paints every watercolorist should have in their toolbox. You’ll learn how to wield undertones, how to mix various shades, and how to find  perfect color combinations. We’ll wrap everything together by matching colors to a reference photo so you can revel in your own mastery.

Join us for part 3 of the Watercolor Workshop Series and leave feeling a newfound confidence in your artistry. Whether you're painting landscapes, portraits, or cute, little, fuzzy bunnies, you’ll have all of the knowledge necessary to mix the colors you see.
