Supply List

Energize and ignite your sketches with Color! Often, we sketch the colors we see in front of us without much thought. These colors add interest, however, there are purposes and uses for other colors that add ideas, feelings, and excitement. This course covers five specific color tactics. You’ll sketch from several subjects, including figure, still life and landscape.

The topics covered in this class are:

  • Recede and advance shapes in space with color.
  • Create mood and express feelings and emotions with color.
  • Organize and attract attention with color.
  • Energize with complementary pairs.
  • Influence color with color: Simultaneous Contrast.

 

This is a working class, meaning you’ll sketch during class time.  Barbara provides discussions on each topic with a slide show of examples and demonstrations, too. Sketching supplies include: watercolor, gouache, water-soluble artist crayon, color pencil, charcoal, and conte crayon.

Barbara’s classes are full of invention and exaggeration as you experiment and explore the possibilities of expressive color. Used a little, or a lot, color transforms and communicates.
