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 learning about color may want to explore Color Scheme Harmony that follows and builds upon what we learn in this workshop.

About the instructor

Picture
Kristen Guest

Kristen Guest is an award-winning and published abstract expressionism artist as well as a 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. She is represented as one of the Professional Artists at Ashton Gallery and creates work for designers, exhibitions and online galleries. Kristen 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.
