Who Should Attend: This workshop is best for those who are advanced beginners and above. (An advanced beginner has completed at least 20 paintings – and they do not need to have been successful – on their own.) With this experience you are able to arrive at the workshop with enough color experience and questions to move onto your next artistic level.
Painters working in all media are welcome. Carol has experience painting with every major medium – watercolor, oil, acrylic and water mixable oils. Though it is not common to include all media in a color course, she has found that everyone benefits from the diverse media in her classes.

“I’m a painter of many years who had already taken a color mixing class at the Atelier School in Minneapolis, but Carol's color class changed my life! I came away with a much deeper understanding of color than I ever had before and it helped me make better decisions that I am still using today. I know color exercises may seem boring, but this class had information that expanded my skill level beyond anything I could have imagined.” --Terrie Christian, artist
Passionate, colorful, and empowering....
