Color Mixing Basics Workshop

Picture
"If one says 'red'—the name of a color—and there are fifty people listening, it can be expected that there will be fifty reds in their minds. And one can be sure that all these reds will be very different." —Josef Albers

In this workshop, instructor Kristen Guest will help guide you into the world of color and break things down into simple concepts.

Join us as we explore how to
  • see and identify colors in the world around us
  • learn more about paint and which colors to buy
  • make colors "pop"
  • mix muted tones that are rich not lifeless
  • achieve ultra-bright and vibrant colors
  • ...and more!

Students who want to continue on may want to explore the Color Scheme Harmony Workshop that follows and builds upon what we learn in this workshop.
  
  • A 2-Week Workshop
  • Max 10 Students
  • Meets on Monday, February8th: 6:00pm-9:00pm and Monday, February 15th: 6:00pm-9:00pm

About the Guest instructor

Picture
Kristen Guest

Kristen Guest is an award-winning abstract expressionism artist and certified art instructor in San Diego, California. She studied Art Education at Middle Tennessee State University because it seemed to be the most natural path: she loved art and she loved helping others. Currently, Kristen works out of her studio at the Bernardo Winery and teaches abstract painting classes at Art on 30th, an art center located in the North Park’s vibrant arts and culture district. She is best known for using various muted desert hues and incorporating a wide variety of drawing materials in her abstract work, giving it a “fresh,” expressive, and gestural feeling.

Her work is currently on display at Ashton Gallery in San Diego, CA. Kristen’s abstracts have been selected and featured on the homepage of online galleries Saatchi, Artfinder, and Zatista as well as selected and featured in newsletters as part of various Editor/Staff Pick highlights, including "Ones to Watch 2020" on Artfinder. She has been juried into local San Diego exhibits, prestigious regional exhibits at the Athenaeum in La Jolla, CA, and national exhibits in Washington DC, San Diego, CA, and Port Angeles, WA.
