Color in Context: Using Limited Palettes to Improve Your Color Mixing


June 11 - July 2, 2026

4 weeks, Thursdays, 6-8:30 PM

Instructor: Raymond Hummel

Age Limits: 18+

Color-mixing is an aspect of painting that takes a lot of practice. One way to simplify the process is by working with a predetermined, limited palette. In this 4-week course, students will learn how to control their mixes and see color relationships in context through direct observation of still life arrangements. Working in oil, they will explore a different palette each week, resulting in four harmonious color studies.

Skill Level: Beginner to intermediate
