MONTHLY PAINT-IN: It's Not Easy Painting Green!
Saturday, January 6; 9:30 am-3:30 pm (set-up 9:00-9:30)
Contacts: Jan McNeill (jan.mcneill@att.net) and David Muegge 713-645-8711.
Carla Gauthier teaches classes and workshops at WASH as well as at private classes in the Clear Lake area.
Often, tube greens we buy don't look right in our landscapes or florals - they're too bright, too acidic, too sharp - just not natural.
In this month's paint-in, Carla will examine many of the tube greens out there, as well as the mixtures we can attain using blue and yellow. She will cover good ways to tweak tube colors and recipes for believable greens that give your paintings depth and sparkle.
Bring your regular supplies (including your tube greens) and a few 1/4 sheets of your favorite paper. We will make a recipe card for great greens and do a small quick painting to reinforce where to place each color to create a sense of space.
