Join professional artist Cody Wheelock for a focused, one-day workshop dedicated to color mixing with a limited palette. Designed for beginner to intermediate artists, this hands-on class will demystify color by grounding it in clear, practical principles rather than guesswork. We’ll cover the essentials of color theory, introduce a simple, repeatable framework for mixing harmonious color, and apply it together through a guided color-mixing project. By the end of the day, students will leave with a deeper understanding of how color actually works, greater confidence using a limited palette, and learn tools they can immediately use in their own painting practice. Supply List: 11x14” stretched canvas or canvas panel for project 8x10” canvas panel or canvas sheet for mixing practice Printed full color photo reference of student’s choice, 8x10” or larger ** An image with a nice range of color is helpful Ruler Pencil Acrylic or oil paints Burnt Umber Ultramarine Blue Phthalo Blue Cadmium Red Hue, Cadmium Red Light or Naphthol Red Permanent Alizarin Crimson or Alizarin Crimson Cadmium Yellow Light, Hansa Yellow or Lemon Yellow (if not too green) Titanium White Palette Knife (diamond head style is preferable) Small to medium paint brushes Palette or mixing surface $110 per person, lunch included Sign Up
