Master color mixing with artist Nancy Seiler! Follow the morning class (or just attend this one) with this afternoon class on color mixing grays, blacks, and neutral colors.
Learn how to match the colors such as the dry hills around Missoula along with rocks and other natural objects that we find on site. By mixing blacks and grays with two or three pigments, you’ll achieve depth and interest in your journal pages instead of the colors looking flat. Nancy will be teaching from the QoR Mini 12-pigment set, so it would benefit you to have this set. The first two hours will be teaching and working with your pigments. The last hour will be color mixing on your own from objects you find at site with Nancy there to help you achieve color matches.
Instructor: Nancy Seiler received her Visual Communications degree from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh in 1981. As a Golden Working Artist for Golden Artist Colors she presents lectures, demonstrations, and workshops in acrylics, watercolors, and oils in Southern California and Montana. She has taught classical botanical illustration and nature journaling since 2003. Her work is represented by Frame of Reference Fine Art in Whitefish and Bigfork, Montana.
