Workshops

Recent Discoveries in Color Theory Workshop

Take a deep dive into recent advances in color theory. I fell down the rabbit hole learning about new developments in color theory. In this workshop, I will share everything I learned in bite-sized steps. We’ll discuss questions such as:
Why two different color wheels? What is gamut masking and how do I apply it? How to choose and use a limited palette? And more.
Morning dedicated to understanding the foundations of color theory–lots of talking. Afternoon dedicated to putting theory to practice–lots of doing. You’ll be making little color studies with different limited palettes.
Saturday, September 13, 9 am – 4 pm.
Lakefront Park, Hudson, WI.
