Students will learn about mixing colors from a limited palette, while still achieving dynamic light and shadow effects with lively color. Discover how values and temperature work to keep your paintings in harmony.


Take home your own light-filled masterpiece along with improved painting methods and theory. Think of walking into a gallery and instantly being grabbed by a painting from clear across the room. What is it that reaches out to you and pulls you to get a better look? Learn what it is that first draws you and how the painting continues to cast such a spell that you have to get within sniffing distance to learn all you can. 

Through informative conversations and step-by-step demonstrations students will gain an understanding of the interrelated components of painting, including value, shape, color and edge relationship. You'll be painting right alongside Michael Orwick with time for each student to receive personal attention and friendly critiques.
