Chromatic Kinship: investigations in color environment and relativity
Location: Arvada, CO
Dates: 9am - 4pm, Oct 24th - 27th, 2024 (four days)
Cost: $550
Prerequisites: Previous oil painting experience

Description: Color in painting is so much more than identifying the local color of an object and attempting to match it! It is a fluid world of relativity and relationship, forms, reflections, and echoes. Like reverb in music, it helps objects feel like they inhabit a dimensional space filled with air and light. In this workshop, we will investigate these properties. Simple still life arrangements with colorful settings, reflected color, and surfaces ranging from matte to glossy will aid us in exploring the nature of the light source and its effects on color in both light and shadow. If you’ve ever struggled to achieve a sense of harmony, or find your shadows to be a bit dull, or your lights to be monochromatic, this workshop will equip you with an approach and framework for creating glow, belonging, and harmony in your paintings. This skill set beautifully and readily transfers to challenging aspects of figure, interior, and landscape painting.

***This small workshop at Robin’s home studio is limited to 10 students.
