Painting with Purpose: Understanding Color

Unlock the power of color in your artwork. This painting class for adults dives deep into the foundations of color theory while offering hands-on studio practice to bring those concepts to life. Through guided exercises and creative exploration, you'll learn how hue, value, saturation, and temperature can dramatically influence mood, depth, and harmony in a painting.

Whether you're working in acrylic, oil, or watercolor, this course will help you make more confident color choices, mix with precision, and create compositions that sing. You’ll explore color relationships, contrast, and palette building while completing a series of practice studies and finished pieces.

Perfect for beginners looking to build a strong foundation or experienced artists wanting to refine their approach to color.
