Explosive Color Portraits with Jerry Salinas
$50 Members/$60 Non Members
Saturday May 3rd
10 am to 2 pm
Express yourself with amazing color mixtures using a limited and expanded palette of colors. If you have ever painted from a photo and learned how limiting that reference is, this workshop will help you get past that problem. We will take a photo reference, push the colors and reduce the values. Anything goes in this class! The control will come in the drawing and the simplification of values and the edges.
