Color Theory 3 Day Intensive Workshop

 I recently taught a 3 Day Color Theory Intensive Class at Roaring River State Park.  Whenever you can get away and have uninterrupted time to learn something new and practice it, you grow.  That's what happened in our class.  We spent from 9 - 4 each day in our studio and then went outside to enjoy  the spring colors.  As we walked and looked at the surroundings, our senses were now keenly aware of all the color surrounding us.  I mused as I heard students discussing the colors they were seeing as if it were the first time to see it.  That's what happens when you really study and it forever changes how you see things and your art!

It you weren't able to go on the 3 day class, you can still do the 8 week class that begins April 5th!  Plan to go on a retreat workshop in the future.  I'm already planning Color Theory Part 2 for the fall!
Roaring River State Park.  What a beautiful location for our 3 Day Color Theory Workshop Retreat!   Spring was in full bloom painting the landscape with beautiful color!


We had time to work and time to play.  This tree was awesome and perfect for climbing, no matter how old you are!

Our studio space was in the Deer Leap Room looking out over the river.

The workshop went well.  We learned a lot about color in class and out on our daily hikes around the park.
Have you attended any workshops that lasted more than a day?  What was your experience?
