Color Harmonies — and working with some of the more “obscure” harmonies
This demo will discuss some of the more obscure color harmonies as a challenge to ourselves as painters in our continued growth. It will also cover, as a refresher, the basic color harmonies and why they might be something to consciously consider when painting.

“I prefer painting from life – en plein air. Painting is exploring and discovering, healing and learning, admiring and preserving. As a painting takes on its own voice, it becomes a living experience with each brushstroke a breath toward its creation. I love to paint and I hope that my artwork communicates the experiences that I have and captures the very essence of the beautiful world through my eyes and interpretation.”
