Description

Discover innovative painting and mixed-media art techniques in the most inspired way possible: through rainbows of colour! In Mixed Media Color Studio, learn colour and design principles that will boost your creative intuition. Based on Kellee Wynne Conrad's online class programme True Colors Art, the lessons in Mixed Media Color Studio are colour explorations designed to strengthen skills and confidence as you develop your own unique style using acrylic and watercolour paint, pastels, artist crayons, ink, and more. See how colour can be mixed to make signature palettes, and get inspired to try new, exciting combinations of colour, materials, and techniques that will take your artwork and creativity even further.

The palette-inspired projects include modern landscapes and seascapes, expressive florals, and abstracts featuring lively green shades, calming tones of blue, powerful red hues, warm analogous colours, and neutrals that are anything but boring.
