Exploring color is a fascinating aspect of art, as it can be used in many intriguing ways to enhance a painting. It can create a mood of peace or one of excitement. It can be used to direct the viewers eye to the focal point, demanding attention. And it can be applied in ways that enhance the warmth of the light. This class will help you unlock the exciting mystery of color in ways that enrich your paintings, causing emotional excitement. Kathleen will walk you through various exercises to help you explore color options and choices. These exercises will help you learn to mix colors, choose colors, and use colors in ways that harmonize your scene and grab your viewer’s attention.

This class will be taught in oils and/or acrylics. However, oils are best for some of the exercises.

All levels may attend, but some working knowledge of your paint is necessary.

“Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.” Claude Monet

Kathleen Denis is known for capturing sun-drenched light in her contemporary-impressionistic style paintings, whether painting scenes of island life, timeworn cottages, inviting gardens or adorable doggies. Presently living in Palm Beach Shores, she was born in Miami, grew up in Ft. Lauderdale, and spent much time in the Florida Keys and the Bahamas, which greatly influenced her use of subject matter and colorful style.

Kathleen’s love of art began with lessons at the age of four, and graduated from University of Miami, with a BFA degree in Graphic Design, while continuing to passionately study, paint en plein air and studio, teach, and win awards.

Her art is licensed by leading manufacturers worldwide and found on numerous home décor and gift products, found at stores such as HomeGoods and Bed, Bath & Beyond. Her original paintings are acquired in galleries, exhibits, plein air events and on her website at www.kathleendenis.com.
