Color Theory for Painters: The 6-Color Split Primary Method with Alex Sharma

November 12, 2025 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
$50.00

All we ever need to know about color is in the color wheel for us to discover.

Imagine 6 specific colors— reds, blues and yellows to create an endless range of mixed colors that will change the way you paint.   Now imagine using these colors to

achieve clear, bright colors, the illusion of distance, volume, depth and shadow!

Alex will paint in watercolor; however, the color theory and mixing is the same for all paint media. Come prepared to paint in the medium of your choice as Alex introduces some surprising color combinations that make for brighter, more intense, fresh colors and avoid dull color.
