Learn new ways to create paintings while experimenting with color systems and texture. Work from observation, memory, and imagination as you begin mixing colors using warm and cool color palettes. Explore brushstrokes, mark making, and value, and study color hue and saturation using a primary color wheel. Create a painting by combining methods for color mixing, color application, and texture learned throughout the class.
