Master the foundations of color harmony and learn how to mix color in this hands-on 90-minute workshop.

You’ll explore how to lighten, darken, and desaturate colors without losing their vibrancy, while learning why certain color combinations create harmony and others create contrast. Through guided exercises, you’ll practice mixing a full range of warm and cool versions of each color on the color wheel and gain a deeper understanding of how colors interact.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll be able to:

Mix clean, vibrant colors with confidence.

Lighten, darken, and neutralize colors without creating muddy mixtures.

Understand three essential color harmonies and how to use them effectively.

Choose colors intentionally to create mood, harmony, and contrast in your artwork.
