Join Tim Botts for a fantastic one day workshop delving into color.
In this workshop, you will begin exploring color through black and white studies in value contrast and density. Exercises with colored paper and color mixing will help you to understand hues and color schemes. There will be an opportunity to make responses to various types of music with experimental marks on paper. Opaque and transparent use of gouache, gradation through the letters, layering, and working dark and light on medium value paper will all be demonstrated along with opportunities to try each technique.
A slide talk will illustrate color as a tool for a wide range of expressions. Knowledge of one writing style is recommended.
Workshop Price: $145
Materials Fee: $0
Attendees must register at least 30 days before the workshop begins.
