color theory demo

January 31, 2009

2pm-3:30pm

Resolve to no longer be stumped by color mixing or paint choices.

Resolve to step away from your dependence on color-used-straight-from-the-tube.

Resolve to expand your personal palette, make vibrant those shadows, make pop! that pear in the bowl of cherries you’ve been stressing over for months… make lively and lovely the looking-rather-macabre portait-of-young-girl that you’re ready to toss over your shoulder….

We might have the keys to help you.

So don’t despair just yet. Come on by with your thinking cap and perhaps your own personal puzzler to ask us about.

We will provide the tools and the paint to demonstrate [be warned: you may get rather dirty].

We do have some aprons if you happen to toddle in wearing your top-dollar digs.

We may also provide cookies if we ourselves are feeling rather peckish.

See you there!

Curious to try pastels?

Stop in sometime– we have a little testing station set up so you can stick your toe in the pool before taking the plunge…

[That was a metaphor by the way]

You never know– maybe these could be the sticks that shake up your creative fruit juice…

[yes– another metaphor]
