Color Obsession - School of Visual Philosophy

Open your mind to new possibilities in color using traditional and contemporary techniques including making your own paint! Let experienced artist Amy Hibbs open your mind to new possibilities of making, mixing, and painting by diving deep into color using traditional and handmade watercolor. The morning session teaches color mixing and the creation of a color wheel with from-the-tube watercolors. In the afternoon we go outside, mining our immediate surroundings for pigments that we make into watercolor paints to share. Using these unique, natural paints we create a new color wheel reflecting our time and place. Emphasis is on experimentation, skills, and fun. You will come away with knowledge of how to make basic watercolors and some tools for continuing your exploration at home.
