Color Theory Through Monotype


Understanding and practicing color mixing is a powerful tool in your art making.  

This course is organized around exercises that will help you master intentional color mixing and how to use color in your art, including:

  • Making a color wheel to understand primary, secondary and tertiary color.
  • Making a saturation continuum to learn about mixing neutrals and grays from complementary pairs.
  • Looking at famous works of art to learn about how the artists you love use color.
  • Monotype basics for applying the color theory to your image making.

The course includes demonstrations, discussion of artworks, assignments, inspirational slideshow and downloadable pdfs.  It’s like being in a workshop in our studio!  Joyce demonstrates using Akua Intaglio Inks, but you can use any ink or paint you have.  No press needed.
