This workshop will focus on the exciting world of color. Have you ever wondered how to mix that rich brown without getting mud? What paints make the exact color I want? Semi-transparent, semi-opaque, transparent, opaque, staining, nonstaining and granular; what does that mean when glazing or mixing my paints? Come find out the answers to these questions and more by creating your own color wheel and color chart.  Through experimentation and knowledge, you will learn how to create beautiful works of art.
