In this 1-day course, students will learn how to mix any color imaginable using traditional oil-based printmaking inks. This class is great for any artist who needs to expand their palette or feels intimidated by color. Special attention will be placed on printmaking, but can be easily translated into other art mediums such as painting. The first half of the session will cover color theories, developing a “personal” palette, and color mixing demonstrations. In the second half of the session, students will create a varied edition of color swatch prints using wood blocks provided by the instructor.
