Shades of Gray: The Value of Value Kay Brathol-Hostvet

 

Value, the relative lightness or darkness of a color or as a scale of varying shades of gray, is the most important element of design. Learn how to both create and discern values in this informative workshop. We'll create value charts (gray scales) in several mediums, convert color tones to white-gray-black values, and learn how to visually balance a work by value or tone. This valuable workshop is appropriate for all skill levels!  Many materials provided.  Sun, Sept 20, 10 - 4  $100/$5 materials

Playful, Experimental Acrylic Weekend Kay Brathol-Hostvet

 

We will focus on the application of acrylic paint in creating expressive, non-representational works based on technical experimentation and design and color exercises. Acrylic is a wonderful painting medium for experimentation because it dries quickly allowing a buildup of multiple layers, or drastic changes. This workshop is suitable for all skill levels.  Sat & Sun, Oct 3 & 4,  10 - 4 each day  $175/$15 materials
