Color Theory in Plein Air Painting Workshop

with Allie Zeyer

Saturday, September 26th, 2020

10:00am -2:00pm

“Good color in a picture means not at all that certain prettiness that the vulgar demand. It means expressive color with its infinite variations, not merely color “dashed in” upon the canvas! Good color really means good taste; and ‘powerful’ color means a reserve.’’ John F. Carlson

Allie Zeyer leads you on a 4 hour intensive workshop on the art of color theory as it relates to plein air painting. Here’s what you’ll learn…

  • Overview of the Properties of Color.
    • Discussion and Application of Hue, Value and Chroma
  • Mixing the Right Color
    • Discussion and Practice of Color Charts –an invaluable preparatory step for the plein air experience and getting the properties of color right out in the field.
  • Hands on application and critiquing of Plein Air Work
    • The good, the bad and the ugly! Practicing learned concepts, we’ll apply the new knowledge of color and its properties to our plein air studies. Re-paint, re-fresh, and re-discover.
