Discover your artistic voice while creating better designed more colorful paintings.  In this 3 day workshop, students will be guided through multi-themed paintings while learning to create powerful unifying compositions.  Learn the "whys" of color, how to make great greens, colorful grays and discover sensuous darks and more.
