Art/Crafts with Jaime Normand

Color Theory in Painting

This class is all about color!

In this class, we'll explore the art of identifying and mixing colors with acrylic paint. We will discuss everything color—tints, shades, tones, intensity, complimentary mixing, color combinations, and more! Come learn the logistics of mixing and matching your own paint colors in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. We will work on canvas and you will leave with your own work of art!

No painting experience is necessary and wear clothes you don’t mind getting a little paint on!
