About this Event
COLOR IN MOTION: Painting Light, Atmosphere & Emotional Space 2-Day
Wednesday, August 26 and Thursday, August 27
10:30am - 1:30pm | No makeup dates
Now that you can mix color with confidence, it’s time to see what color does inside a painting.
In this immersive 2-day workshop, we move beyond the palette into the living space of painting—where color becomes light, atmosphere, depth, and emotion. You’ll learn how to use temperature, contrast, and layering to create work that feels luminous, dimensional, and alive.
We shift the question from “How do I mix this color?” to “What is this color doing here?”
Through guided studies and expressive painting exercises, you’ll explore how color can push and pull space, shift emotional tone, and transform flat surfaces into dynamic visual experiences.
This is where color stops being something you choose—and starts becoming something you experience.
